"The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits." "It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things." More In Best "We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies."― Martin Luther King, Jr. "Only a mediocre person is always at his best."― W. Somerset Maugham "Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all."― Heinrich Heine
