“I compare that old relic with myself… ruins and dilapidation. What a difference between then and now. Then, youth, strength and riches; now age, weakness and poverty.”

“From extreme old age, sanity is requested. It is like asking for strength from weakness.”

“It strikes me that this may be one of the differences between youth and age: when we are young, we invent different futures for ourselves; when we are old, we invent different pasts for others.”

““I am a weak man, Cousin,” he replied. “It was my weakness that led to my poverty, and brought me to Mars, and prompted me to steal that egg.” He gave a rueful grin. “It would be inconsistent for me to display any strength of character now.””

“Waiting to die in old age will not benefit anyone if you have wasted your youth and do not want to change anything right now.”

“Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.”

“Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration of thy life, thy life as a child, as a youth, thy manhood, thy old age, for in these also every change was a death. Is this anything to fear?”

“Aging is not 'lost youth' but a new stage of opportunity and strength.”

“The spirit of our age is one in which the prejudices of the past are put behind us, where our diversity is our strength. It is this which is under attack. Moderates are not moderate through weakness but through strength. Now is the time to show it in defence of our common values.”

“Housing is the key to solve different issues, including poverty and youth development.”
