“I am pushing sixty. That is enough exercise for me.”

“Observation is an old man's memory.”

“There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction.”

“The world will not evolve past its current state of crisis by using the same thinking that created the situation.”

“In youth, we clothe ourselves with rainbows, with hope & love, & go as brave as the zodiack. In age we put out another sort of perspiration; gout, fever, rheumatism, caprice, doubt, fretting, and avarice.”
