Listen to episode 996 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Earning Your Wisdom and Happiness. Edited & adapted from a speech by David Starr Jordan.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The greatest source of failure in life comes from this. It is easier to be almost right than to be right; to wish, than to gain. In default of gold, there is always something almost as good, and which glitters equally. In default of possession, illusion can be had, and more cheaply. It is possession only which costs. Illusion can be had on easy terms, though the final end of deception is failure and misery.
