“It is a pity that, as one gradually gains experience, one loses one's youth.”
Vincent van Gogh
“Don't grow old waiting for oppotunity, find it while you're still young.”
Richard 'Grimesy' Grimes
“I know we only live once. But that doesn't mean live fast and die young. There is more youth six feet under! Than the elderly in nursing homes.”
Philip T. M.
“Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.”
Maya Angelou
“Befriend him, death, and pity him, may he from here arise! Unharmed, with sound limbs, hearing perfectly, through old age carrying a hundred years, let him get enjoyment by himself (unaided)!”
Atharva Veda
“It is a pity that we cannot escape from life when we are young.”
Mark Twain
“Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.”
