Tells its own story
Hello
It must not be forgotten that true success is based on service. It is only by our co-operative help of the world that we can ever find happiness, and this is in itself true success. Money and fame are useless if they fail to bring happiness and satisfaction. Service and co-operative helpfulness bring the truest and most lasting success. Combined with efficiency they make us indispensable in our particular branch or calling. Sooner or later quality of character tells its own story. Those who rise rapidly, laughing at such things as service, integrity, etc., generally go down later in ruin and dishonour.
Does it mean that sooner or later the character of the given person will show its true face, will come out?
And what does this sentence refer to? To the sentences preceding it or to the sentences following it?

Thanks Clive
I thought at first that it relates to what follows it because to me this sentence has some negative connotation.
