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

A man growing old becomes a child again.

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.

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

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

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

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

Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.

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