Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life for which the first was made;
Our times are in His hand
Who saith: "A whole I planned-
Youth shows but half; trust God,
see all nor be afraid."
--Robert Browning
As I Grow Old
God keep my heart attuned to laughter
When youth is done;
When all the days are gray days, coming after
The warmth, the sun.
God keep me then from bitterness, from grieving,
When life seems cold;
God keep me always loving and believing
As I grow old.
--Unknown
Crabbed age and youth
Cannot live together;
Youth is full of pleasure,
Age is full of care;
Youth like summer morn,
Age like winter weather;
Youth like summer brave,
Age like winter bare;
Youth is full of sport,
Age's breath is short;
Youth is nimble, age is lame;
Youth is hot and bold,
Age is weak and cold;
Youth is wild and age is tame,
Age, I do adore thee;
Youth, I do adore thee;
O, my love, my love is young.
Age, I do defy thee.
O sweet shepherd, hie thee,
For me thinks thou stay'st too long.
--William Shakespeare
Keep Your Own Gate
Have you ever watched a grower irrigate his grove, or a farmer his land? When he opens little gates to irrigation furrows there rushes in a life-giving flow of water which, in time, will result in beautiful trees and nourishing plants. Our lives are like that. Each of us is given a furrow into which flow power, wisdom, energy and health from a divine source. Like the trees and plants, we thrive- or dry up- according to the degree to which our gates are opened. But there is this tremendous difference. God lets every man be the keeper of his own gate.
--Unknown
Dost thou love Life? Then do not squander Time; for that's the stuff Life is made of.
--Benjamin Franklin
As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every minute of time.
--John Mason
For, as I like a young man in whom there is something of the old, so I like an old man in whom there is something of the young; and he who follows this maxim, in body will possibly be an old man, but he will never be an old man in mind.
--Cicero
Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
--Dr. Seuss
The constant interchange of those thousand little courtesies which imperceptibly sweeten life has a happy effect upon the features, and spreads a mellow evening charm over the wrinkles of old age.
--Washington Irving
If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should not grow old.

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
