Four causes of misery in old age
Marcus Tullius Cicero As I give thought to the matter, I find four causes for the apparent misery of old age; first, it withdraws us from active accomplishments; second, it renders the body less powerful; third, it deprives us of almost all forms of enjoyment; fourth, it stands not far from death.

 - Marcus Tullius Cicero
