[in brief] thought for the day

A beautiful young woman

Anouk Aimee, in O Magazine, October 2003, said: You can only perceive real beauty in people as they get older. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, sometime between 1815 and 1902, said: With age comes the inner, the higher life. Who would be forever young, to dwell always in externals? But Plato wrote, sometime between 427 BC and 347 BC: He who is of calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden. Unfortunately, that cuts the vast majority of us out.
