in short, I should have liked, I do confess, to have had the lightest licence of a child, and yet to have been man enough to know its value.
Dickens has a such a wonderful way of being universally poignant while still serving the story he is telling. This quote hits me every time I read this story. It is so succinctly how I have felt many and many a times. As I’ve heard it otherwise expressed, “youth is wasted on the young.”

“Man," said the Ghost, "if man you be in heart, not adamant, forbear that wicked cant until you have discovered What the surplus is, and Where it is. Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die? It may be, that in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than millions like this poor man's child. Oh God! to hear the Insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the dust!”
