One morning, on awakening, one realizes that everything is white. 成长使人学会保持年轻。It is by growing old that one learns to remain young. 如果某人宣称他在60岁时能够做他20岁时能做的任何事情，那说明他20岁时没干多少事情。If someone declares that he is able to do everything at sixty that he was able to do at twenty, then he was not doing very much when he was twenty. 老年润饰一切。有秋季黄昏日落时那种美丽闪光的效果。Old age embellishes everything. It has the effect of the setting sun on the beautiful twilights of autumn. 人们老了时，一般都克服了自己的缺点，因为他们再也不为任何企图而努力。As one grows old, one generally rids himself of his short-comings because they no longer serve any useful purpose.
