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.

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

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

Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.

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.

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

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

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