Happiness, Laughter, Heart

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1861). “The Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau”, p.346

Which of you does not sometimes look back regretfully on the age when laughter was ever on the lips and the heart free of care? Why steal from the little innocents the enjoyment of a time that passes all too quickly?

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
