Work is a necessary evil to be avoided....

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

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.

Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.

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.
