What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our old age was in some respects the happiest period of life.
People don't realize the great happiness there is in living to be very old and together all the time.
The only person who can say they're happy getting old is someone who isn't actually old yet. Every day, I get less and less happy about that idea.
At its best our age is an age of searchers and discoverers, and at its worst, an age that has domesticated despair and learned to live with it happily.
Old age may have its limitations and challenges, but in spite of them, our latter years can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling of our lives.
Those who have no hope pass their old age shrouded with an inward gloom.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years.
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
Of these years nought remains in memory but the sad feeling that we have advanced and only grown older.
