About This Quote

If you want to be optimistic about the future, just look at the people who have been around for a very long time. Look at the way they live, and remember that this is their life. They’ve been doing it for a long time and they’ve seen all kinds of things happen. They’ve seen revolutions take place; they’ve seen empires rise and fall; and they’ve witnessed the rise and fall of many different things.
