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

A man growing old becomes a child again.

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

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

An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.

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

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

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

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