I really like that description. I think the phrase "luck, pluck, and virtue" has been permanently grafted into my brain ever since reading Ragged Dick in HS. That and, "I seen my opportunities and I took 'em."

I think of him more as the pied piper leading the children away from the corporations.

Though not religious, I would compare him to Paul the Apostle, wiping the scales from his eyes after that talk to the Harvard kids to spread the startup gospel from city to city...
