“Retire to the center of your being, which is calmness.”

“I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being.”

“Why dost thou not retire like a guest sated with the banquet of life, and with calm mind embrace, thou fool, a rest that knows no care?”
Cur non ut plenus vitae conviva recedis aequo animoque capis securam, stulte, quietem?

“When a man is forced into early retirement, he is often being ‘given up for a younger man.’ Being forced into early retirement can be to a man what being ‘given up for a younger woman’ is for a woman… Why do many men get more upset by retirement than women do from the empty nest —when their children leave home? When females retire from children, they can try a career; when a man retires from a career, his children are gone.”

“At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.”

“Retreat often into your sphere, rest yourself in your center, plunge yourself into your element: good advice, which must be remembered.”

“I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being.”
“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated”

“Calmness of mind does not mean you should stop your activity. Real calmness should be found in activity itself. We say, "It is easy to have calmness in inactivity, it is hard to have calmness in activity, but calmness in activity is true calmness.”

“Retirement should be a happier time, conditioned upon not being ill.#”

“Being a retired major looks like an ideal thing to me. What a pity you couldn't eternally have been just a retired major.”
