Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.

Forty is the old age of youth, fifty is 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.

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.

A man growing old becomes a child again.

Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.

Age appears to be best in four things old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.
