Have all the hopes of ages come to naught? Is life no more with noble meaning fraught?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease.
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.
To be old can be glorious if one has not unlearned how to begin.
At its best our age is an age of searchers and discoverers, and at its worst, an age that has domesticated despair and learned to live with it happily.
Hope is not a matter of age.
A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.
After all, life hasn't much to offer except youth, and I suppose for older people, the love of youth in others.
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
When a noble life has prepared for old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
