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

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

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.

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

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

An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.

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

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

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