"A Man is Not Old Until Regrets Take the Place of Dreams....."

An oldtimer is someone who can remember when a naughty child was taken to the woodshed instead of to a psychiatrist.
David Greenberg, American Opinion, November, 1975

With age, we become responsible for what's in our heads--the character of the memories there, the music we are familiar with, the storehouse of books we have read, the people whom we can call, the scenery we know and love. Our memories become our dreams.
Edward Hoagland, Harper's, January, 1991.

I promise to keep on living as though I expected to live forever. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul.
Douglas MacArthur, New York Times, June 8, 1984.

Nothing so dates a man as to decry the younger generation.
Adlai E. Stevenson, speech, University of Wisconsin, Madison, October 8, 1952.
