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

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.

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

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

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

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.

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

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

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

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
