Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

You must keep a strict eye on your health; let everything else be subordinated to that.

You must all pay attention to your health first.

Profundity of thought belongs to youth, clarity of thought to old age.

Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health.

With age does come experience and that can be a virtue if it is sensibly used. By being willing to put past differences behind us and move forward together, we honour the freedom and democracy once won for us at so great a cost.
