We all know the troubles of old age. The bones creak; the eyes get dim, one forgets names... The spark does not ignite; adrenalin has lost its potency. But there is something to be said on the other side... The beauty of nature has lost none of its charm; the beauty of women none of its benediction. There is.a possibility of growing old gracefully, and with content in one's heart.

Vannevar Bush

1890-1974

Letter, 1971
