The years teach much which
the days never knew. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wrinkles should merely indicate
where smiles have been. - Mark Twain
A man's age is something
impressive, it sums up his life: maturity reached slowly and
against many obstacles, illnesses cured, griefs and despairs
overcome, and unconscious risks taken; maturity formed through
so many desires, hopes, regrets, forgotten things, loves.
A man's age represents a fine cargo of experiences and memories.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
