How about this for success through failure. If Gandalf, the dwarves and poor old Bilbo Baggins hadn't been taken by the orcs of the Misty Mountains, Bilbo would have never found the One Ring in Gollum's cave and then taken it and kept it safe in the Shire. If this had not happened then surely the servants of Sauron would have found the Ring in Gollum's keeping, killed him and Sauron would have been the King of the World.
