Youth, which is forgiven everything, forgives itself nothing Age, which forgives itself anything, is forgiven nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
Youth changes its tastes by the warmth of its blood; age retains its tastes by habit.
François de La Rochefoucauld
For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.
William Cowper
Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.
Eric Hoffer
