University
A university (Latin: universitas, "a whole") is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in various academic disciplines. Universities typically provide undergraduate education and postgraduate education.
Age
Struggle and turmoil, revel and brawl—
Youth is the sign of them, one and all.
A smoldering hearth and a silent stage—
These are a type of the world of Age.
William Ernest Henley, Of Youth and Age, Envoy.
Age
Weak withering age no rigid law forbids,
With frugal nectar, smooth and slow with balm,
The sapless habit daily to bedew,
And give the hesitating wheels of life
Gliblier to play.
John Armstrong, The Art of Preserving Health (1744), Book II, line 484.
Age
The real affliction of old age is remorse.
Cesare Pavese, The Moon and the Bonfire, chapter VIII, p. 49.
