In middle age, I practiced feeling old, but the real thing has been a rude surprise.
With age, the mind grows slower and more wily.
General statements omit what we really want to know. Example: some horses run faster than others.
A sympathetic look always makes me feel sorry for myself.
The educated do not share a common body of information, but a common state of mind.
Never trust the judgment of an enthusiastic man; never trust the promises of a lazy one.
