This belief that the goods of life come, or even can come, by luck, or that they happen by chance or fall by accident to the fortunate, is their chief or most fatal blunder. The satisfying goods of life, whether they be spiritual, moral, intellectual, or physical, have a nature which renders it impossible for them to ever be won by luck, like a lottery prize, or for them to drop into a man slap by some happy accident. They cannot come at all except by our toiling to make them come, and even then they cannot come except at the cost of changes and transformations in our own natures, which are often painful and costly to make.
