Time bears away all things, even our minds.

I remember my youth and the feeling that I could last forever, outlast the sea, the earth and all men.

The weight of this sad time we must obey; speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. The oldest hath borne most: we that are young, shall never see so much, nor live so long.

These are the arks, the trophies, I erect, That fortify thy name against old age.

He who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition, youth and age are equally a burden.

Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age.

Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman’s birthday but never remembers her age.

The compensation of a very early success is a conviction that life is a romantic matter. In the best sense one stays young.

The wiser mind mourns less for what age takes away than what it leaves behind.

An hour of planning can say you 10 hours of doing.

Nothing is more precious than being in the present moment. Fully alive, fully aware.

All that is important in this moment is movement. Make the movement vital and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.

There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world; and that is an idea whose time has come.

No thing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.
