"Age is not all decay; it is the ripening, the swelling, of the fresh life within, that withers and bursts the husk."

"Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigor.
