I'm getting very old and my bones ache. My sins are deserting me, and if I could only have my time over again I'd take care to commit more of them.
Dorothy L. Sayers

Youth is not entirely a time of life it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubts as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
Douglas MacArthur

When our vices desert us, we flatter ourselves that we are deserting our vices.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

I was not a good father in my first marriage. Although there are ways of deserting the family without leaving physically, I was deserted in my head. I was always out, always in the saloons, always drinking, always messing about.

Wives invariably flourish when deserted ... it is the deserting male, the reckless idealist rushing about the world seeking a non-existent felicity, who often ends in disaster.
William McFee

Scott's Eastwood movie Snowden sounds fascinating. I want to see it because it's about deserting your country ... for whatever reasons you have. Edward Snowden became famous for the wrong reasons, as Captain Chesley Sully Sullenberger became famous for doing something spectacular.
Clint Eastwood

I promise to keep on living as though I expected to live forever. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only be deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul.
Douglas MacArthur

We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
Edward R. Murrow

Indifference must be a crime in us, to be ranked but one degree below treachery for deserting the commonwealth is next to betraying it.
Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke
Image
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
