Quote

He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young

It is the privilege of posterity to set matters right between those antagonists who, by their rivalry for greatness, divided a whole age

Young men soon give, and soon forget affronts, old age is slow in both

There is not a more unhappy being than a superannuated idol

Young men have a passion for regarding their elders as senile

Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order
