“Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.”

“Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as you despair.”

“I really feel better about aging at the age of 86 than I did at 70.”

“We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.”

“The other day a man asked me what I thought was the best time of my life. ‘Why,” I answered without a thought, ‘now.’”

“Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.”
