“Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.”
Dr. Robert H. Goddard
“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.
“"Musicians are here to spread truth. We must start with the youth.”
Kevin C. Scott
“People grow old only by deserting their ideals, Macarthur had written. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.”
Douglas MacArthur
“In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.”
Beverly Sills
“A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture.”
Abraham J. Heschel
“When I was young, I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old, I know it is”
Oscar Wilde
