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

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

Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.

Old minds are like old horses you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order.

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

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.

Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.

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.

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.
