Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed. ~Charles Schulz
Henry James once defined life as that predicament which precedes death, and certainly nobody owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that predicament.

Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children. ~George Bernard Shaw
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. ~Lucille Ball
