I'm very pleased with each advancing year. It stems back to when I was forty. I was a bit upset about reaching that milestone, but an older friend consoled me. 'Don't complain about growing old - many, many people do not have that privilege.'

每增長一年我都非常愉悅。那回朔到我四十歲的時候。我有一些心煩當我到了這里程碑，但是一個較我年長的朋友安慰我說：「不要抱怨年老─有許許多多的人並沒有這個特權。」
