Letter: Some tips and warnings on living to 100 (2)

Published 8 October 2025

From James Willis, Alton, Hampshire, UK

Your special issue reminds me of the words of 20th-century Lancet editor Theodore Fox: “Life itself is not the most important thing in life. Some cling to it as a miser to his money and to as little purpose. Some risk it for a song, a hope, a cause, for wind in their hair.”
