"But an old age serene and bright, and lovely as a Lapland night, shall lead thee to thy grave." ― William Wordsworth Topic(s): Age More From William Wordsworth "That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love." "Life is divided into three terms – that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live better in the future." "For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity." More In Age "I believe that the development of language – of naming, categorization, conceptualization – destroys our ability to see as we age."― Chris Ware "Age does not matter if the matter does not age."― Jean Paul "Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you can’t construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history."― John Polkinghorne
