    How to be Happy in Old Age

    Refer to Pavarotti as your friend.

    Listen to him often.

    Try to live the way he sings.

    Give everyone A’s in everything.

    Never be afraid of your hair

    or what others might say about it.

    Prefer levity to pomposity.

    Make up wonderful lies

    especially to stupid questions.

    Love good food and drink.

    Cook marvelously.

    Carry a rusty briefcase

    or a red knapsack.

    Make satirical weathervanes.

    Wear outrageous socks.

    True?

    The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious.  It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science.  He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead, a snuffed out candle.  To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is something that our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly: this is religiousness.  In this sense, and in this sense only, I am a deoutly religious man.
