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.

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

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

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

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.

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

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.

What most persons consider as virtue, after the age of 40 is simply a loss of energy.
