Age
I know not age, nor weariness nor defeat.
Millennials regularly draw ire for their cell phone usage. They're mobile natives, having come of age when landlines were well on their way out and payphones had gone the way of dinosaurs. Because of their native fluency, Millennials recognize mobile phones can do a whole lot more than make calls, enable texting between friends or tweeting.
If we are strong, and have faith in life and its richness of surprises, and hold the rudder steadily in our hands. I am sure we will sail into quiet and pleasent waters for our old age.
Our uniqueness makes us special, makes perception valuable - but it can also make us lonely. This loneliness is different from being 'alone': You can be lonely even surrounded by people. The feeling I'm talking about stems from the sense that we can never fully share the truth of who we are. I experienced this acutely at an early age.
In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.
Lives are saved when those potential killers are confronted by a police officer, a strong police presence and actual, honest-to-goodness, up-close 'What are you guys doing on this corner at 1 o'clock in the morning' policing. We need to be careful it doesn't drift away from us in the age of viral videos, or there will be profound consequences.
Whatever poet, orator or sage may say of it, old age is still old age.
We all grow up. Hopefully, we get wiser. Age brings wisdom, and fatherhood changes one's life completely.

In the large cities that received new Americans, there flowered a golden age of restaurants, manned by the available talent from abroad and fueled by the restless wealth of the newly rich.
Youth is a blunder, Manhood a struggle, Old Age a regret.
I wish that more people, especially young people, were taught about self-love at a younger age.
Our age knows nothing but reaction, and leaps from one extreme to another.
In the age of Trump, we need to be aware of emotional rhetoric and its power regardless of whether or not it's based in fact.
At the age of four with paper hats and wooden swords we're all Generals. Only some of us never grow out of it.
People gossip. People are insecure, so they talk about other people so that they won't be talked about. They point out flaws in other people to make them feel good about themselves. I think at any age or any social class, that's present.
Character roles definitely age better than your ingenues. You don't get to keep doing that.
I think it's nice to age gracefully. OK, you lose the youth, a certain stamina and dewy glow, but what you gain on the inside as a human being is wonderful: the wisdom, the acceptance and the peace of mind. It's a fair exchange.
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
There is a quiet about the life of a farmer, and the hope of a serene old age, that no other business or profession can promise.
