A dirty hands appreciater sent me this today, thought it best belonged here....
William Roscoe....assisted his father in the work of the garden, but spent his leisure time
on reading and study. "This mode of life," he says, "gave health and vigour to my body,
and amusement and instruction to my mind; and to this day I well remember the delicious sleep
which succeeded my labors, from which I was again called at an early hour.
If I were now asked whom I consider to be the happiest of the human race, I should answer,
those who cultivate the earth by their own hands."
