All that I have produced before the age of 70 is not worth taking into account.
When I am 80 I shall have made more progress.

At 100 I shall have reached a marvellous age, and when I am 110 everything I do, be it but a dot or a line, will be alive.

Though I might travel afar, I will meet only what I carry with me, for every man is a mirror. We see only ourselves reflected in those around us.

Correct yourself - and your world will change.
