Nathan Payne argues that true success comes from developing moral character, not accumulating wealth or fame. History remembers people for their convictions and sacrifices, not their possessions.

It says, man's chief concern in life should not be the acquiring of gold or of fame or of material possessions. It should not be the development of physical prowess nor of intellectual strength, but his aim, the highest in life, should be the development of Christlike, of a Christlike character. Now, if you guys— I believe in Jesus Christ, but if you don't, just insert the trying to obtain a perfect character or the highest level of character. That is what I believe is what truly constitutes success. Because if you look at history, what do people actually— who do they remember? Not people that have a lot of money or have a lot of things. They remember people with true character or who died for important things that they believed in.
