can progress after fifty. go farther

Look at your remaining years as

carry you at a better pace into the
next decade.
Ten years wisely employed at any
time after twenty ought to make a
man either a success or a failure
They may not be enough 10 bring
fortune, but they ought to bring

insure independence.
