As winter strips the leaves from around us,
so that we may see the distant regions they
formerly concealed, so old age takes away
our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect
of the coming eternity.
-- Jean Paul
Richter
1763-1825,
German Novelist
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft
light of the moon, silvering over the
evening of life.

Richter
1763-1825,
German Novelist
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and
more bright the longer we live, and the
reason of everything appears more clear.
What has puzzled us before seems less
mysterious, and the crooked paths look
straighter as we approach the end.
-- Jean Paul
Richter
1763-1825,
German Novelist
Age does not matter if the matter does not
age.
-- Carlos
Pena Romulo
