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

Like everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older, I begin each day with coffee and obituaries.

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

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

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

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

I don't feel old. I don't feel anything till noon. That's when it's time for my nap.

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

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

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.
