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

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.

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

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 feel old. I don't feel anything till noon. That's when it's time for my nap.

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

When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.

Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.
