Experience is always a trustworthy guide; it may not tell you everything, but it never lies.

We must have a passion in life.

Years do not always make age.

No place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.

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.

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.
