Death and taxes and childbirth! There's never any convenient time for any of them. - Margaret Mitchell Gone with the wind
Nobility is not a birthright. It is defined by one's actions.
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The soul that rises with us, our life's star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar; Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come from God, who is our home.
It's sad to grow old, but nice to ripen.
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime and too sleepy to worry at night. -
The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know you'll grow out of it.
Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires.
How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth,
Stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year!
And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
It's sad to grow old, but nice to ripen.
