“I  have seen the freest and most educated men in the happiest circumstances the world can afford; yet it seemed to me that a cloud hung on their brow and they appeared serious and almost sad even when they were enjoying themselves… because they never stopped thinking of the things they have not yet got.”

-Alexis de Toqueville 1823
