- Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
SUCCESS, n. The one unpardonable sin against one's fellows. In
literature, and particularly in poetry, the elements of success are
exceedingly simple, and are admirably set forth in the following lines
by the reverend Father Gassalasca Jape, entitled, for some mysterious
reason, "John A. Joyce."
The bard who would prosper must carry a book,
Do his thinking in prose and wear
A crimson cravat, a far-away look
And a head of hexameter hair.
Be thin in your thought and your body'll be fat;
If you wear your hair long you needn't your hat.
- 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue
- the achievement of one's aim or goal. (His third attempt to pass the entrance exam was a success.)
- (Business) financial profitability.
- a person who achieves his or her goals. (Scholastically, he was a success.)
