Quotes about: Aging

• One wastes so much time, one is so prodigal of life, at twenty! Our days of winter count for double. That is the compensation of the old.

• It is quite wrong to think of old age as a downward slope. On the contrary, one climbs higher and higher with the ad-vancing years, and that, too with sur-prising strides. Brain-work comes as easily to the old as physical exertion to the child. One is moving, it is true, towards the end of life, but that end is now a goal, and not a reef in which the vessel may be dashed.
