WORDS TO LIVE BY-
“Polios have a certain advantage over the able-bodied when it comes to aging….
We do not confuse the quality of our life with the quality of our tennis game.
We know that happiness is not dependent upon activity nor is meaningful defined
by trophies. A meaningful life may be hampered—but need not be defined—by pain
or disability.”
—Hugh G. Gallagher, 1998
