Before you contradict an old man, my fair friend, you should endeavor to understand him.
-- George Santayana (1863 - 1952)

"Those who love not their fellow-beings live unfruitful lives, and prepare for their old age a miserable grave."
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley

With age come the inner, the higher life. Who would be forever young, to dwell always in externals?
-- Elizabeth Cady Stanton
