chewing the fat

Footnote
Another Alcott quote appears
on the next page of Gilbert Seldes' book:
"That is a failure when a man's idea
ruins him, when he is dwarfed and killed
by it. But when he is ever growing by it,
ever true to it, and does not lose it
by any partial or immediate failures—
that is success, whatever it seems
to the world."
