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.

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

A man growing old becomes a child again.

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.

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

I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.

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

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

Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.
