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

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

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

A man growing old becomes a child again.

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

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

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.

Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.

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

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