More on Old Age
“Old men delight in giving good advice as a consolation for the fact that they can no longer set bad examples.”
“I don't know how you feel about old age... but in my case I didn't even see it coming. It hit me from the rear.”
“I have lived long enough. My way of life is to fall into the sere, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends I must not look to have.”
More on Life
“We all wish to live a happy life. In addition, we all have the same right to fulfil this goal. And we all have the potential to do so for the simple reason that future is not fixed, it can be changed. Therefore, we should live in hope that we really can overcome whatever problems we face.”
“Cherish each hour of this day for it can NEVER return.”
“Life is a warfare and a stranger's sojourn, and after fame is oblivion.”
