"The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind." ― William Wordsworth Topic(s): Age More From William Wordsworth "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." "Faith is a passionate intuition." "With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." More In Age "Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end."― Leonard Nimoy "Your 40s are a major trough. About the age of 50, feelings of satisfaction begin to rebound and keep rising into your 50s, 60s and 70s, with health being a major factor."― Jane Pauley "O love, if I regret the age when one savors you, it is not for the hour of pleasure, but for the one that follows it."― Jean-Jacques Rousseau
