Lord save us all from old age and broken health and a hope tree that has lost the faculty of putting out blossoms.

I was young and foolish then; now I am old and foolish

It is better to be a young June-bug than an old bird of paradise

We can't reach old age by another man's road. My habits protect my life but they would assassinate you.

Hope is sweet.
Hope is illumining.
Hope is fulfilling.
Hope can be everlasting.
Therefore, do not give up hope,
Even in the sunset of your life.

Lord save us all from... a hope tree that has lost the faculty of putting out blossoms.
