#23 William's Oracle
If the armor of the last mortuary would conceal the truth, so be it.
Should the last Spartan general forbid your action, then, time would tell.
Would this world turns its back against your modest doings, so shall it be.
For your prevailing words will survive not in vain but in eternity
No one can stop you in fulfilling your promises, for I believe
This life is worthless without its rightful deeds and mindful bearing
So if everything will vanish and so the words remain so deconstructing
This line may be cleverly decried to be foolish and subjugated in mediocrity
But long live the decisive and forgiving mortals who labor in believing that
Nothing is so sacred than fulfilling a promise for your loved ones
When a man retires and time is no longer a matter of urgent importance,
his colleagues generally present him with a watch.
R.C. Sherriff
Retired is being twice tired, I've thought
First tired of working, then tired of not.
Richard Armour
O, blest retirement! Friend to life's decline -
How blest is he who crowns, in shades like these,
A youth of labor with an age of ease!
Goldsmith

The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.

Retirement is wonderful. It's doing nothing without worrying about
getting caught at it.
