“Father Time is not always a hard parent, and though, he tarried for none of his children , often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigor. With such people the grey head is but the impression of the old fellow’s hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well-spent life.” – Charles Dickens
