In retirement, the passage of time seems accelerated. Nothing warns us of its flight. It is a wave which never murmurs, because there is no obstacle to its flow.
Happiness and Virtue clasp hands and walk together.
Feeling loves a subdued light.
The injustice of men subserves the justice of God, and often His mercy.
The most dangerous of all flattery is the inferiority of those about us.
When fresh sorrows have caused us to take some steps in the right way, we may not complain. We have invested in a life annuity, but the income remains.
