AGE

A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
Maurice Chevalier


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

Robert Frost


Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.

Marcus Tullius Cicero


After thirty, a body has a mind of its own.

Bette Midler


Age considers; youth ventures.

Rabindranath Tagore


Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone.

Jim Fiebig


Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

Tom Stoppard


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

Mark Twain


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

Don Marquis


Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.

Albert Camus


All diseases run into one, old age.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.

Agatha Christie


Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.

Henry Ford


As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.

Marcus Tullius Cicero


As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost.

Margaret Mead


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

Aristotle


Economists report that a college education adds many thousands of dollars to a man's lifetime income - which he then spends sending his son to college.

Bill Vaughan


Every man over forty is a scoundrel.

George Bernard Shaw


Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age.

Victor Hugo


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

Andre Maurois
He has a profound respect for old age. Especially when it's bottled.
Gene Fowler

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

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
Satchel Paige

I cried on my 18th birthday. I thought 17 was such a nice age. You're young enough to get away with things, but you're old enough, too.
Liv Tyler
