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.

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.

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

Old minds are like old horses you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order.

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

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.

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