No great movement designed to change the world can bear to be laughed at or belittled. Mockery is a rust that corrodes all it touches.

 
Milan Kundera
 

At thirty, man suspects himself a fool;
Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan;
At fifty chides his infamous delay,
Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve;
In all the magnanimity of thought
Resolves, and re-resolves; then dies the same.

 
Edward Young
 

Meet is it changes should control
Our being, lest we rust in ease.
We all are changed by still degrees,
All but the basis of the soul.

 
Alfred (Lord) Tennyson
 

The knight's bones are dust,
And his good sword rust;
His soul is with the saints, I trust.

 
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
 

Time's corrosive dewdrop eats
The giant warrior to a crust
Of earth in earth and rust in rust.
