INSPIRING QUOTES
And just for fun here are some inspiring and humorous quotes about achievements in advancing years.
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, JR.:
“To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old”.
The Chinese painter KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI (1760-1849):
“From the age of 6 I had a mania for drawing the shapes of things. When I was 50 I had published a universe of designs. But all I have done before the age of 70 is not worth bothering with. At 75 I’ll have learned something of the pattern of nature, of animals, of plants, of trees, birds, fish and insects. When I am 80 you will see real progress. At 90 I shall have cut my way deeply into the mystery of life itself. At 100, I shall be a marvelous artist. At 110, everything I create; a dot, a line, will jump to life as never before. To all of you who are going to live as long as I do, I promise to keep my word. I am writing this in my old age. I used to call myself Hokusai, but today I sign my self ‘The Old Man Mad About Drawing.”
PABLO PICASSO who worked and lived a full life painting well into his 80’s said:
“We don’t grow older, we grow riper.”
OSCAR WILDE commented wryly:
“To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.”
DR MURRAY PARKES aged 83 who after a successful career as a doctor and helping bereaved people established a trauma recovery programme after the Rwandan genocide:
“Life is too short for retirement”.
