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

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.
