"In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us." ― Beverly Sills Topic(s): Age More From Beverly Sills "Anger begins with folly, and ends with repentance." "My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires." "A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment." More In Age "Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance."― David Mamet "The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science, more than soil, has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality."― Shimon Peres "What I really tried to do with Helen was make her show this sad side of her. She was married off at 16, was so young and living in this castle that can’t leave because of how she looks, and married to a man she hates and three times her age."― Diane Kruger
