Thomas Carlyle Quotes
But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus. By certain valuations, and averages, of our own striking, we come upon some sort of average terrestrial lot; this we fancy belongs to us by nature, and of indefeasible rights.

A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all.
