   In old age alone we are masters of a treasure of which we cannot be
deprived, the only treasure we can call our own. The pleasures of memory
and the retrospect of the varied images which in an active life have floated
before the mind, compensate, and more than compensate, for the alternate
pleasures and cares of active life.-SIR ARCHIBALD ALLISON.
    Personal anecdotes, when characteristic, greatly enliven the pages of
a biography.-SAMUEL SMILES.
