There is a vast difference between success at twenty-five and success at sixty. At sixty, nobody envies you. Instead, everybody rejoices generously, sincerely, in your good fortune.

Only a few things are really important.

To know that one has never really tried - that is the only death

It is not how old you are, but how you are old.

the human heart clings - even to its pain.

That's the unfortunate thing about death. It's so terribly final.

Never one thing and seldom one person can make for a success. It takes a number of them merging into one perfect whole.
