If you will believe me, you who are young, yours is the golden season of life.

Settling for what is comfortable is one of the biggest enemies to our enlargement...

As I accepted the change of the golden hair of my childhood to the reddish-brown hair of my youth without regret, so I also accept my silver hair-and I am ready to accept the time when my hair and the rest of my clay garment returns to the dust from which it came, while my spirit goes on to freer living.
