The great disadvantage of getting older is to be obliged to relive the salient economic events of one's youth, with nothing learned and nothing forgotten.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Nothing is more important for young people than enhancing their life chances, liberating their potential and encouraging their contribution to a globally competitive and modern economy.
Obviously, we live in a society where ageing is feared. But, to me, the alternative to getting old isn't that great. I've got friends much older than me and much younger, and I love that. It means you get to teach as well as learn.
Our age gives the more receptive among the young such a sense of social responsibility that one is inclined at times to fear that social interests may encroach upon individual development, that a knowledge of all the ills affecting the community may act as too powerful a damper on the joys of youth.
The more you are getting older, you lose a little something. Of course there is another advantage, because of your long experience you can use it.
Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.
No one can avoid aging, but aging productively is something else.
Younger people have so many opportunities. I don't see any pessimism among them.
The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.
Memory tempers prosperity, mitigates adversity, controls youth, and delights old age.
