"But time is meaningless when it contains
the past and future in the present.
The task of old persons is to
continue to live in the now."
L. Buscaglia

"Fully functioning old persons
do not have to sit back and wait for death.

"They must build confidence and
give their limited time on Earth purpose;
They must make peace with the knowledge that
some day they will be outgrown or even forgotten,
but that the experience of life will have been enough.

"Their most precious treasures are still the
continual surprises which daily living can bring.
They can choose life."
L. Buscaglia
