If you rest, you rust.
From Helen Hayes
Age is not important unless you're a cheese.
Every human being on this earth is born with a tragedy, and it isn't original sin. He's born with the tragedy that he has to grow up... a lot of people don't have the courage to do it.
Everybody starts at the top, and then has the problem of staying there. Lasting accomplishment, however, is still achieved through a long, slow climb and self-discipline.
The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.
Childhood is a short season.
I cry out for order and find it only in art.
We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.
The truth is that there is only one terminal dignity - love. And the story of a love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
People who refuse to rest honorably on their laurels when they reach retirement age seem very admirable to me.
