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

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

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.

When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

Like everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older, I begin each day with coffee and obituaries.

What most persons consider as virtue, after the age of 40 is simply a loss of energy.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

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