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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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