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.

I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.

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.

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

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

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