"Life is precious to the old person. He is not interested merely in thoughts of yesterday’s good life and tomorrow’s path to the grave. He does not want his later years to be a sentence of solitary confinement in society. Nor does he want them to be a death watch."
"The dedicated physician is constantly striving for a balance between personal, human values, scientific realities and the inevitabilities of God's will."
