As i accepted the change of the golden hair of my childhood to the reddish-brown hair of my youth without regret, so i also accept my silver hair-and i am ready to accept the time when my hair and the rest of my clay garment returns to the dust from which it came, while my spirit goes on to freer living. it is the season for my hair to be silver, and each season has its lessons to teach. each season of life is wonderful if you have learned the lessons of the season before. it is only when you go on with lessons unlearned that you wish for a return.

If anybody has any idea of hoarding our silver coins, let me say this. treasury has a lot of silver on hand, and it can be, and it will be used to keep the price of silver in line with its value in our present silver coin. there will be no profit in holding them out of circulation for the value of their silver content.
