Do We Ill-treat Our Senior Citizens?

“
Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.” – Francis Bacon (1561-1626) English philosopher and politician.
Francis Bacon also makes a compensatory statement: “
Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.”
“
And clouds come o’er the sunset of our day,
They kindly leave us, though not quite alone,
But in good company – the gout or stone.
-Lord George Gordon Byron (1788-1824), English poet and politician.
