"It were a real increase of human happiness,……" — Thomas Carlyle

"It were a real increase of human happiness, could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels, or rendered otherwise invisible; and there left to follow their lawful studies and callings, till they emerged, sadder and wiser, at the age of twenty-five."

Thomas Carlyle
