When are you too old? 88?

WHEN ARE YOU TOO OLD? by Steve Goodier

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 still painting,
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's Carnegie Hall, and

PabloCasals, at 88, still performed celloconcerts.

At 82, Winston Churchill wrote the four-volume work, A
History of the English-Speaking Peoples, Leo Tolstoy
completed I Cannot Be Silent, and

Goethe, at the sameage, finished Faust.
At 81, Benjamin Franklin engineered the diplomacy,
which led to the adoption of the U.S. Constitution.

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