Old Age Makes Caricatures Of Us All.

Ambition, If It Were To Be Savored, Let Alone Achieved, Had To Be Rooted In Possibility.

We Can Experience Nothing But The Present Moment, Live In No Other Second Of Time, And To Understand This Is As Close As We Can Get To Eternal Life.

We English Are Good At Forgiving Our Enemies; It Releases Us From The Obligation Of Liking Our Friends.

In Youth We Take Egregious Risks Because Death Has No Reality For Us. Youth Goes Caparisoned In Immortality. It Is Only In Middle Age That We Are Shadowed By The Awareness Of The Transitoriness Of Life.

The World Is Changed Not By The Self-regarding, But By Men And Women Prepared To Make Fools Of Themselves.
