This is a wonderful day, ” Anthony was muttering to himself. “A wonderful day.” He looked up sharply at Gareth. “You don’t have sisters, do you?”“ None, ” Gareth confirmed.“ I am in possession of four, ” Anthony said, tossing back at least a third of the contents of his glass. “Four. And now they’re all off my hands. I’m done, ” he said, looking as if he might break into a jig at any moment. “I’m free.”“ You’ve daughters, don’t you?” Gareth could not resist reminding him.“ Just one, and she’s only three. I have years before I have to go through this again. If I’m lucky, she’ll convert to Catholicism and become a nun. Gareth choked on his drink.“ It’s good, isn’t it?” Anthony said, looking at the bottle. “Aged twenty-four years.”“ I don’t believe I’ve ever ingested anything quite so ancient, ” Gareth murmured.

About This Quote

When a person lives a long time, they will accumulate knowledge and wisdom over the years. A long life is considered to be one filled with many blessings. The more fortunate ones can always look back on their life and feel content with their days spent. However, if the person remains ungrateful for all of his blessings at the end of his life, that person will only regret the bad things that could have gone better.
