Forty is the old age of youth, fifty is the youth of old age.

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.

I don't feel old. I don't feel anything till noon. That's when it's time for my nap.

Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.

Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.

Forty is the old age of youth fifty the youth of old age.

I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.

How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.
