More on Old Age
“The best Armour of Old Age is a well spent life preceding it; a Life employed in the Pursuit of useful Knowledge, in honourable Actions and the Practice of Virtue; in which he who labours to improve himself from his Youth, will in Age reap the happiest Fruits of them; not only because these never leave a Man, not even in the extremest Old Age; but because a Conscience bearing Witness that our Life was well-spent, together with the Remembrance of past good Actions, yields an unspeakable Comfort to the Soul”
“A dissolute and intemperate youth hands down the body to old age in a worn-out state.”
“I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.”

“Except a person be part coward, it is not a compliment to say he is brave.”
“It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.”
