Summary

This quote highlights the idea that as individuals, our true impact lies in the way we live our own lives rather than trying to shape or control the lives of others, even our own children. While we may have influence on others, such as our children, it is ultimately limited to the example we set through our own actions, choices, and personal growth. It encourages us to focus on self-development and being a positive role model, as that is where our true impact lies.

Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.

The ages of seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
