Time
There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternally new now that builds and creates itself out of the Best as the past withdraws.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832) German poet, novelist and dramatist.
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
André Maurois (1885-1967) French writer.
There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.

Great endowments often announce themselves in youth in the form of singularity and awkwardness.

Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.

The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.
