"I am already sensible of decay in..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“The glow of one warm thought is to me worth more than money.”

“The natural cause of the human mind is certainly from credulity to skepticism.”

“Health is worth more than learning.”

“The cruelty of nature is you have to work out harder when you get older ... It should be the other way around: Work out hard when you're a kid you should be able to coast when you get older. But unfortunately you have to do more to stay in the same position.”

“Nobody looks like they did when they were 20, so why not take advantage of the fact that you're changing, emotionally as well as physically?”

“The most important thing I can tell you about aging is this: If you really feel that you want to have an off-the-shoulder blouse and some big beads and thong sandals and a dirndl skirt and a magnolia in your hair, do it. Even if you're wrinkled.”

“In our time together, you claimed a special place in my heart, one I'll carry with me forever and that no one can ever replace.”

“In the eulogy by the graveside, I told everyone how my sister and I used to sing to each other on our birthday. I told them that, when I thought of my sister, I could still hear her laughter, sense her optimism, and feel her faith. I told them that my sister was the kindest person I;ve ever known, and that the world was a sadder place without her in it. And finally, I told them to remember my sister with a smile, like I did, for even though she was being buried near my parents, the best parts of her would always stay alive, deep within our hearts.”

“Such is the frailty of man that even where he makes the truest and most forcible impression in the memory, in the heart of his beloved, there also he must perish.”
