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

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

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

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

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.

An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.

Old minds are like old horses you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order.

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

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