When a noble life has prepared for old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.
Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.
To be old can be glorious if one has not unlearned how to begin.
The present times require the vigor and the activity of the prime of life; but I feel the increasing infirmities of age to such a degree, that I am conscious I cannot serve you to advantage.
There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it as bravely and faithfully and cheerfully as we can.
Immortality is not a gift, Immortality is an achievement; And only those who strive mightily Shall possess it.
Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.
The ordinariness of living to be old is too novel a thing to appreciate.
Have all the hopes of ages come to naught? Is life no more with noble meaning fraught?
