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

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

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

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.

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

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

Old minds are like old horses you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order.

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

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

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