WHEN ARE YOU TOO OLD?

When asked how it was that she has lived so long, one 91-year-old woman replied,"I think God is testing the patience of my relatives."
When is "too old"? At what age do we give up? At 100, Grandma Moses was stillpainting, and Titian painted "Battle of Lepants" when he was 98.

At 93, George Bernard Shaw wrote Far­fetched Fables.
At 91, Eamon de Valera served as presi­dent of Ireland.
At 90, Pablo Picasso still drew and engraved.
At 89, Arthur Rubinstein gave one of his greatest recitals in New York'sCarnegie Hall, and Pablo Casals, at 88, still performed celloconcerts.
At 82, Winston Churchill wrote the four-volume work, A History of theEnglish-Speaking Peoples, Leo Tolstoy completed I Can­not Be Silent, and Goethe,at the same age, finished Faust.
At 81, Benjamin Franklin engineered the diplomacy, which led to the adoption ofthe U.S. Constitution.

When are you "too old"? Only on the day when you truly have nothing left togive. And the good news is this: that day never has to arrive!
