Hello,
Here is today's quote of the day:
'The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquillity of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.'

ReplyDeleteBeautiful and meaningful saying by Somerset Maugham!!
ReplyDeletethe combination of youth and old age is lyk a perfect fusion...each stage of lyf has its own pleasure!!
ReplyDeleteA man in old age is like a sword in a shop window. Men that look upon the perfect blade do not imagine the process by which it was completed.
ReplyDeleteYou know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.
The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion.
There's one advantage to being 102. There's no peer pressure.
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative.
The trick is growing up without growing old.
No man loves life like him that's growing old.
It is incredible that so many people have given so much thought to this tender age called "old age" or "second childhood". "The old are in a second childhood" was quoted by Aristophanes, in "The clouds". Such a small phrase holds such a good meaning about the lives of the elderly. The webpage you guys have made is awesome. (Awesome background too, suits perfectly!!)Creativity is something we all will enjoy, so keep adding more stuff so that we find something new each time we visit!!
