It is recognized as an axiom of morality that luck is the only object of human veneration. How far a man has any right to be more lucky and hence more venerable than his neighbors is a point that always has been and always will be settled proximately by a kind of higgling and haggling of the market, and ultimately by brute force: but however this may be, it stands to reason that no man should be allowed to be unlucky to more than a very moderate extent.
Erewhon (1868)
