The mind never need stop growing. Indeed, one of the few experiences which never pall is the experience of watching one's own mind and how it produces new interests, responds to new stimuli, and develops new thoughts, apparently without effort and almost independently of one's own conscious control.

Ah, ah, thy beauty! like a beast it bites, Stings like an adder, like an arrow smites.

Buddha

Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Albert Einstein

With age, you get to a place where you don't want to knock people out. You just want to give people a hug.

Useless laws weaken the necessary laws.

Charles Montesquieu
