Time,--the most independent of all things.
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Most of the methods for measuring the lapse of time have, I believe, been the contrivance of monks and religious recluses, who, finding time hang heavy on their hands, were at some pains to see how they got rid of it.
To be happy, we must be true to nature and carry our age along with us.
