1. Water-colours of
Marcel Reynaert

2. Getting older is the only way to live long.

3. The age of maturity is that age at which one is still
young but is much more resourceful.

4. What most torments me about
the foolishness of my youth, is
not the crazy things I have
done...but the fact that I can’t
go back and do them again.

5. To get old is to go from passion to compassion.

6. Many people never reach eighty because the
waste time trying to stay at forty forever.

7. At twenty, desire rules, at thirty reason
rules., and at forty it’s time for good
sense and judgement.

8. Whoever is not beautiful at twenty,
strong at thirty, rich at forty, nor wise
at fifty, will never be beautiful or
strong or rich or wise.

9. When we pass sixty, there are fewer
things that we think are absurd.

10. Young people think the old are ridiculous.
The old know that the young are ridiculous.

11. A mature person goes back to find the serenity once
enjoyed as a child

12. Nothing passes by as
quickly as the years.

13. When I was young I was told
“You’ll see when you’re fifty”.
I’ve passed fifty but I don’t see
anything .

14. In the eyes of youth
there burns a flame. In
the eyes of the old
there shines as light.

15. The initiative of youth and the experience of
the older each have equal value.

16. There is a small child inside each one of us.

17. Each age calls for it’s own
appropriate behavior.

18. Young people travel in groups. adults travel
in pairs, and old people walk alone.

19. Happy the one who was young as a youth, and
happy the one who is wise in old age.

20. We all want to grow old, and we all want to
deny we have arrived there.

21. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE PASSING YEARS
- HOW TO LIVE THEM, AND NOT JUST ACCUMULATE
THEM,

22. Musica: Roger Williams
