He's passed from rising hope to elder statesman without any intervening period whatsoever.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
He only is exempt from failures who makes no efforts.
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
No wise man ever wished to be younger.
He who is not capable of enduring poverty is not capable of being free.
He has not lived badly whose birth and death has been unnoticed by the world.
No one escapes from the past without bearing some of its burdens.
He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young.
Hope is not a matter of age.
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.
No one is so old as to think he cannot live one more year.
