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

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.

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

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

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.

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

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.
