Age

Famous quotes containing the word age:

    Lermontov died at age twenty-eight and wrote more than have you and I put together. Talent is recognizable not only by quality, but also by the quantity it yields.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    A man’s interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full; so you care for nothing but your own affairs. When you grow up, your vessel overflows; and you are a politician, a philosopher, or an explorer and adventurer. In old age the vessel dries up: there is no overflow: you are a child again.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Fullness to such a burden is
    That go on pilgrimage;
    Here little, and hereafter bliss,
    Is best from age to age.
    John Bunyan (1628–1688)
