Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.

Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
