Old Age Is The Verdict Of Life.

When A Man Has Calamity Upon Calamity The World Generally Concludes That He Must Be A Very Wicked Man To Deserve Them. Perhaps The World Is Right; But It Is Also Just Possible That The World ... May Be Wrong.

Death Is Like The Setting Of The Sun. The Sun Never Sets; Life Never Ceases. ... We Think The Sun Sets, And It Never Ceases Shining; We Think Our Friends Die, And They Never Cease Living.

Youth Is Always Sure That Change Must Mean Something Better.
