It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. The reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides.
~~~~~~~
It is discouraging how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit. Anonymous quotes
~~~~~~~
It is easy to believe that life is long and one’s gifts are vast — easy at the beginning, that is. But the limits of life grow more evident; it becomes clear that great work can be done rarely, if at all.
~~~~~~~
‘It is easy to fly into a passion–anybody can do that–but to be angry with the right person and at the right time and with the right object and in the right way–that is not easy, and it is not everyone who can do it.’

It is not all bad, this getting old, ripening. After the fruit has got its growth it should juice up and mellow. God forbid I should live long enough to ferment and rot and fall to the ground in a squash.
~~~~~~~
It is not how old you are, but how you are old.
~~~~~~~
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
~~~~~~~
It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life’s parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
~~~~~~~
‘It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.’
~~~~~~~
It is only necessary to grow old to become more charitable and even indulgent. I see no fault committed by others that I have not committed myself.

~~~~~~~
It often takes more courage to change one’s opinion than to stick to it.
~~~~~~~
It seems that fears are all based on these things: illusion and future thinking, with a side order of ‘What if.’ ‘What if that truck turns suddenly into our lane’ ‘What if I’m all alone at age 80?’ What if? What if? What if? Yes, fears must be respected and learned about, but they must not paralyze us, or lure us into a half-life of being afraid all the time. I liked to think of my fears being driven away in a Rolls Royce (for it is true that once you face a fear, it loses all of its stuffing, and will sit quietly in the back seat and do as it’s told.) I feel that fears drive us away from our true selves–innocent beings. I used to live in denial of my fears, and try to cover them up with a ‘happy face.’ I now see that my greatest growth is happening with an acceptance of my fears, of giving them voices and learning new ways to deal with them. Anonymous quotes

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way.’ Charles Dickens
