~ Middle age: The time when you'll do anything to feel better, except give up what is hurting you. ~ ~ Old age puts more wrinkles in our minds than on our faces. ~ ~ The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles. ~ ~ Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself. ~ ~ I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel. ~ ~ But probably every age gets, within certain limits, the science it deserves ~ ~ Age is getting to know all the ways the world turns, so that if you cannot turn the world the way you want, you can at least, get out of the way so you won't get run over ~ ~ You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea. ~ ~ The angels are so enamored of the language that is spoken in heaven that they will not distort their lips with the hissing and unmusical dialects of men, but speak their own, whether their be any who understand it or not. ~ ~ If angels rarely appear, it's because we all too often mistake the medium for the Message. ~ ~ There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and a tired man who wants a book to read. ~ ~ There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in travelling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place. ~ ~ Charming people live up to the very edge of their charm, and behave as outrageously as the world lets them. ~ ~ The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different. ~ ~ If most men and women were forced to rely upon physical charm to attract lovers, their sexual lives would be not only meager but in a youth-worshiping country like America painfully brief. ~ ~ Curiosity is only vanity. Most frequently we wish not to know, but to talk. We would not take a sea voyage for the sole pleasure of seeing without hope of ever telling. ~ ~ The tragedy of education is played in two scenes - incompetent pupils facing competent teachers and incompetent teachers facing competent pupils. ~ ~ Sometimes, people use age as a convenient excuse.
Other people, though, go on to acheive their greatest accomplishments in life in later years. ~ ~ You don't have to accept the invitation to get angry. Instead, practice forgiveness, empathy and encouragement. ~ ~ I believe that we parents must encourage our children to become educated, so they can get into a good college that we cannot afford. ~ ~ Parenthood: That state of being better chaperoned than you were before marriage. ~ ~ Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem - in my opinion - to characterize our age ~ ~ The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good. ~ ~ Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage. ~ ~ What most persons consider as virtue, after the age of 40 is simply a loss of energy. ~ ~ Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it. ~ ~ Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy. ~ ~ Excellence encourages one about life generally; it shows the spiritual wealth of the world. ~ ~ To aim at erxcellence, our reputation, and friends, and all must be ventured; to aim at the average we run no risk and provide little service. ~ ~ To aim at excellence, our reputation, and friends, and all must be ventured; to aim at the average we run no risk and provide little service. ~ |
