Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We should all start to live before we get too old.
Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
We virtually never feel our age, but thinking that we should can lead to disaster.
Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time.
Life is such a tragicomedy.
A lot of tragedy can befall us, but there's always something else; there's always hope.
At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.
Old age is the verdict of life.
The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon.
It's not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us; it's the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.
