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

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 is the youth of old age.

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

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

A man growing old becomes a child again.

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

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

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.
