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

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

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

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

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

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

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

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

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