Those who have no hope pass their old age shrouded with an inward gloom.

Hope is sweet.
Hope is illumining.
Hope is fulfilling.
Hope can be everlasting.
Therefore, do not give up hope,
Even in the sunset of your life.

It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope

Old age ain't no place for sissies.

Old age is no place for sissies.

Old age is always 15 years older than I am.
