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

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

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.

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

Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.

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

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

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

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