    People must be­lieve what they can, and those who be­lieve more must not be hard upon those who be­lieve less.

    Then if you don’t know what I mean, what right have you to call it non­sense?
  • missninahas quoted4 years ago
    it is so silly of people to fancy that old age means crooked­ness and withered­ness and feeble­ness and sticks and spec­tacles and rheum­at­ism and for­get­ful­ness! It is so silly! Old age has noth­ing whatever to do with all that. The right old age means strength and beauty and mirth and cour­age and clear eyes and strong pain­less limbs.
