After the age of 50 we begin to die little by little in the deaths of others.

To me, old age is always fifteen years older than I am.

When you're old, everything you do is sort of a miracle.

It's not that age brings childhood back again, Age merely shows what children we remain.

We must not take the faults of our youth into our old age, for old age brings with it its own defects.

Nature, with her customary beneficence, has ordained that man shall not learn how to live until the reasons for living are stolen from him, that he shall find no enjoyment until he has become incapable of vivid pleasure.

Beyond age, leaf withered, man goes three footed no stronger than a child is, a dream that falters in daylight.

Old men are always young enough to learn, with profit.

To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent-that is to triumph over old age.

When you're forty, half of you belongs to the past-and when you are seventy, nearly all of you.
