No person is ever good for much, that hasn't been swept off their feet by enthusiasm between ages twenty and thirty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.
On the whole, human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time.
I kind of thought when I was 30 that you're as good as your going to get. And that's not true.
Cynics will say there are no good people out there. And if you read the papers and watch TV news you could be convinced of that. But there are good people.
After all, life hasn't much to offer except youth, and I suppose for older people, the love of youth in others.
Young people, you need the wisdom of age, just as some of us older ones need your enthusiasm for life.
No one can be good for long if goodness is not in demand.
Being good is just a matter of temperament in the end.
No one can be great, or good, or happy except through the inward efforts of themselves.
Stop this attitude that older people ain't any good anymore! We're as good as we ever were - if we ever were any good.
