emotion upon the sunset of life, when the dusk of evening begins to
gather over the watery eye, and the shadows of twilight grow broader
and deeper upon the understanding.--LONGFELLOW.

It is only necessary to grow old to become more indulgent. I see no
fault committed that I have not committed myself.--GOETHE.

That which is usually called dotage is not the weak point of all old
men, but only of such as are distinguished by their levity.--CICERO.

We must not take the faults of our youth into our old age; for old age
brings with it its own defects.--GOETHE.

Learn to live well, or fairly make your will;
You've play'd, and lov'd, and ate, and drank your fill;
Walk sober off, before a sprightlier age
Comes titt'ring on, and shoves you from the stage.
--POPE.

If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written
upon the heart. The spirit should not grow old.--JAMES A. GARFIELD.

Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age.--VICTOR
HUGO.

Remember that some of the brightest drops in the chalice of life may
still remain for us in old age. The last draught which a kind
Providence gives us to drink, though near the bottom of the cup, may,
as is said of the draught of the Roman of old, have at the very
bottom, instead of dregs, most costly pearls.--W.A. NEWMAN.
