Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. ~Mark Twain



Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. ~Samuel Ullman



Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many. ~Author Unknown



Middle age is when your classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald they don't recognize you ~Bennett Cerf



In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play. ~Friedrich Nietzsche



The great man is he who does not lose his child's-heart. ~Mencius, Book IV
