“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

is fifteen years
older than I am. "

That is a stitch about cars reaching their limit! Been thumbing through the 1909 issues of SA, have you? ;-)
ReplyDelete60 isn't looking so bad if elderly is 15 years beyond. Perception and perspective, eh?

Enjoy those temptations while you can! Good thoughts to ponder.
ReplyDeletewiser and more foolish - i like that.
ReplyDeleteAloha Cloudia, wiser and more foolish, is a -purr-purr-fect combo!
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite sixty but I'm pretty much a punk.
ReplyDeleteYou 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 -
ReplyDelete“ 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!
As one grows older,
ReplyDeleteone becomes wiser
and more foolish
sounds contradictory but i find it pretty much the truth....am getting older....
Fun quotes and pics. I like the idea of being a young punk of 60.. when I get there (pretty soon). ;)
ReplyDeleteReading your quotes have lifted my evening...they are so fun!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year, dear Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteoh so true...... forget the hoo-ha now I OD on christmas cake....!!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh about the 1909 quote about cars !
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
