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

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

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

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

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.

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

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.

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

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

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