Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

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

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

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.

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.

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

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

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

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