That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
Just like those who are incurably ill, the aged know everything about their dying except exactly when.
Old age is just a record of one's whole life.
One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.
Nothing is more responsible for the good old days than a bad memory.
One keeps forgetting old age up to the very brink of the grave.
It's paradoxical, that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn't appeal to anyone.
When a noble life has prepared for old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
They that have lived a single day have lived an age.
When one gets old and they are sick, there are not many things they can count on but they should be able to count on Social Security. Our seniors' retirement should never rely on the bull of political promises or the bear of the market.
