Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.

About This Quote

People tend to be most happy when they are young. Then, as their lives progress, they lose interest in things that once excited them. They become bored with their careers and with life itself. As they get older, most people begin to lose their drive and passion for life.

However, if they could be born again at the age of eighty, they wouldn’t lose most of their enthusiasm for life. They could live their lives over again. From the beginning, they would be enthusiastic about everything.
