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

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.

Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.

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.

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.

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.

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