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

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

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

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

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

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

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.

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

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