Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.

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.

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

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

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

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

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.

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

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