"Young men soon give, and soon forget, affronts; old age is slow in both." ― Joseph Addison Topic(s): Age Tags: young More From Joseph Addison "Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, hast thou more of pain or pleasure! Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee!" "Animals, in their generation, are wiser than the sons of men; but their wisdom is confined to a few particulars, and lies in a very narrow compass." "To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny." More In Age "I think you can’t really escape any kind of spiritual education as a child, whether it’s New Age or Judaism or Buddhism or whatever it is. You can’t escape it, even if you completely disagree with it, you still have it as a foundation that you base things off of."― Jack White "You end up as you deserve. In old age you must put up with the face, the friends, the health, and the children you have earned."― Judith Viorst "One of my grandfathers, actually, having gone out there as a minister, decided he would better serve the people as a doctor. So at a very late age – at the age of 38 in fact – he changed course and decided to become a doctor."― Colin Firth
