Quote

He who is of calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden.

For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God.

But he who dies in despair has lived his whole life in vain.

Every age has its happiness and troubles.

Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.

Whoever marries the spirit of this age will find himself a widower in the next.

He has a profound respect for old age. Especially when it's bottled.

Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
