You've got to learn to accept the law of life, and face the fact that we disintegrate slowly.

Life doesn't make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.

When we looked at the life cycle in our 40s, we looked to old people for wisdom. At 80, though, we look at other 80-year-olds to see who got wise and who not. Lots of old people don't get wise, but you don't get wise unless you age.

Babies control and bring up their families as much as they are controlled by them; in fact the family brings up baby by being brought up by him.

The way you 'take history' is also a way of 'making history.'

Healthy children will not fear life if their elders have integrity enough not to fear death.
