Young Punks of Sixty

A   L   O   H   A  !
  Mountains look small -

Until you climb them.









"As one grows older, 
one becomes wiser 
and more foolish. "

Francois de La Rochefoucauld 










 “That the automobile
 has practically reached the limit 
of its development is suggested 
by the fact that
 during the past year 
no improvements of 
a radical nature 
have been introduced.”

Scientific American, 1909








" Old age 
is fifteen years 
older than I am. "

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Young punks of sixty
alive alive O
Young punks of sixty
GO!  GO!  GO!
Young punks of sixty
maintaining the Flow;
Young punks of sixty
still so much to know!

Thanks for visiting

                        Warmly, cloudia

"Do not worry
 about avoiding temptation. 
As you grow older 
it will avoid you. "

That is a stitch about cars reaching their limit! Been thumbing through the 1909 issues of SA, have you? ;-)

60 isn't looking so bad if elderly is 15 years beyond. Perception and perspective, eh?

You always find such a great selection of quotations – I have copied quite a few from your blog into my Quotation Documents. I looked and the last two quotations I copied in there, but I don’t think they came from your blog as they were in French. They had been translated into French from the original Mark Twain. I shall re-translate them for you, but I don’t think I’ll use them on my blog as I would upset my US readers, even if it was one of their own who wrote them. Here -

“ Dieu a créé la guerre afin que les Américains apprennent la géographie » (God created war so that Americans would learn geography) - Marc Twain, and

"Ce fut admirable de découvrir l'Amérique mais ç'aurait été mieux de passer à côté" (It was wonderful to discover America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.) - Marc Twain. He certainly had a sense of humour!

I had to laugh about the 1909 quote about cars !

SandyCarlson said...

Thanks for making me smile. Let's hear it for the young at heart. May they (we) be merciful on the young who have aged too soon.

Cloudia said...
