"To be happy, we must be true to nature and carry our age along with us." ― William Hazlitt Topic(s): Age More From William Hazlitt "The world judge of men by their ability in their profession, and we judge of ourselves by the same test: for it is on that on which our success in life depends." "Life is the art of being well deceived; and in order that the deception may succeed it must be habitual and uninterrupted." "Reflection makes men cowards." More In Age "Life expectancy in many parts of Africa can be something around the age of thirty five to thirty eight. I mean you’re very fortunate if you live to that age. In fact when I went to Uganda for the first time one of the things that occurred to me was that I saw very few elderly people."― Annie Lennox "A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him, “At my age, I don’t even buy green bananas.”"― Claude Pepper "The strength and power of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resistance."― Thomas Paine
