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

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

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

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.

A man growing old becomes a child again.

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

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

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.
