Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues.

Even retirees who like retirement often want to keep active and involved. They want a blend of work and leisure, and that often means owning a manager-run unit.

The only true retirement is that of the heart; the only true leisure is the repose of the passions. To such persons it makes little difference whether they are young or old; and they die as they have lived, with graceful resignation.

A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world.

If we do not lay out ourselves in the service of mankind whom should we serve?

It was a great learning experience to work with James Stewart.
