Success Quote by George Morgan

Blessings in one hand, a moral audit in the other: that is the quiet engine inside "Is Abundant Success in all his honest undertakings". It reads like a toast, a liner note, maybe even the kind of inscription slipped into a case alongside a watch or a Bible - an old-fashioned wish for prosperity that refuses to sound greedy. The trick is the qualifier: "honest". Success alone can sound like conquest; abundant success can sound like excess. By stapling it to "honest undertakings", the line tries to keep ambition from turning predatory.

As a musician's phrasing, it also carries the era's hustle. Mid-century working artists lived in a world where "making it" often meant navigating managers, labels, payola rumors, and the churn of gigs. "Honest undertakings" is a coded reassurance: your wins should come from craft, not the backroom; from labor, not leverage. It is a reputation-preserving spell, the kind you repeat when the industry makes ethical compromise feel normal.

The grammar matters. Starting with "Is" makes it feel like a formal benediction, as if completing an unspoken sentence: "My wish for him is..". That stiffness signals sincerity and social decorum - not a lyric meant to dazzle, but a line meant to be trusted. In a culture that loves success stories and suspects the winners, Morgan's clause is a way to ask for applause without inviting cynicism.
