Thoughts about old age
In age we talk much because we have seen much, and soon after shall cease talking for ever.
Joseph Hall, Occasional Meditations, 1630
When we are sighing for the loss of our past youth, which will return no more, let us reflect that decrepitude will come, when we shall regret the mature age we have reached and do not sufficiently value.
La Bruyere, Characters, 1688
Every old man complains of the growing depravity of the world, of the petulance and insolence of the rising generation.
Dr Johnson, The Rambler, 1750-2
At fifty you begin to be tired of the world, and at sixty the world is tired of you.
Count Oxenstierna, Reflections and Maxims, mid 17th century
Thought for today
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinic saying
