Jeremy Collier Quotes About Youth
-
The more we sink into the infirmities of age, the nearer we are to immortal youth. All people are young in the other world. That state is an eternal spring, ever fresh and flourishing.

When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride or design in their conversation.
