I don't think I am evangelical in my work....

Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.

The best of us must sometimes eat our words.

I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had.

Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.

It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age.

Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.

Have regular hours for work and play make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.
