THE ELEVEN
COMMANDMENTS OF OLD AGE
1. To live is not merely to breathe but to act.

5. Keep your mind busy and active. With age we should grow, and not decay.
6. A bridge player is young at any age.

8. You are as old as you feel.
9. The old man who does not laugh is a fool.
10. Every one grows old but desire always remains young.
11. It is better to be 70 years young than to be 40 years old.
