When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When a noble life has prepared for 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.
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.
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.
Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
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?
