Famous quotes containing the words full, retirement and/or age:

    Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family—but to a solitary and an exile his friends are everything.
    Willa Cather (1876–1947)

    Adultery itself in its principle is many times nothing but a curious inquisition after, and envy of another man’s enclosed pleasures: and there have been many who refused fairer objects that they might ravish an enclosed woman from her retirement and single possessor.
    Jeremy Taylor (1613–1667)

    We accumulate our opinions at an age when our understanding is at its weakest.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
