THE GRANDPARENTS "From my grandfather I learned good morals and the government of temper.

From my great-grandfather to know that on education one should spend liberally.

From the reputation and remembrance of my father, modesty and a manly character.

From my mother, piety and beneficence, and abstinence not only from evil deeds but from evil thoughts; and, further, simplicity in way of living.

To the gods I am indebted for having good grandparents, good parents, a good sister, good teachers, good associates, good kinsmen and friends."-- MARCUS AURELIUS.
"Honorable age is not that which standeth in length of years, nor that is measured by number of years; but wisdom is the grey hair unto men and an unspotted life is old age.
