First you are young; then you are middle-aged; then you are old; then you are wonderful.
Lady Diana Cooper
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that happen to a man.
Leon Trotsky
The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you�ve been.
Madeleine L�Engle
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don�t mind, it doesn�t matter. Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. Youth disserves; middle age conserves; old age preserves. Age is a slowing down of everything except fear. Age is getting to know all the ways the world turns, so that if you cannot turn the world the way you want, you can at least, get out of the way so you won�t get run over. Age is a prison from which we cannot escape. The true way to render age vigorous is to prolong the youth of the mind. In youth the days are short and the years are long; in old �ge the years are short and the days long. Live your life and forget your age. The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young. Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot. You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea. 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. Does age poison us, or do we poison age? Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young. Age is something that doesn�t matter, unless you are � cheese. It�s sad to grow old, but nice to ripen. Age attacks when we least expect it. Age is like the newest version of a software – it has a bunch of great new features but you lost all the cool features the original version had. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. A woman has the age she deserves. But probably every age gets, within certain limits, the science it deserves. Middle age is youth without its levity, and age without decay. Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever. There�s no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow. I�m not interested in age. People who tell me their �ge are silly. You�re as old as you feel. Age puzzles me. I thought it was a quiet time. My seventies were interesting and fairly serene, but my eighties are passionate. I grow more intense as I age. I grow more intense as I age. Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children. Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough. The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom. Age swallows our childhood. A man is not old as long as he is seeking something. Age seldom arrives smoothly or quickly. It�s more often a succession of jerks. Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age. Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone. Age merely shows what children we remain. The age of a woman doesn�t mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles. All diseases run into one, old age. Sometimes age succeeds, sometimes it fails. It depends on you. Grow old with me! The best is yet to be. A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman�s birthday but never remembers her age. Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Age is a high price to pay for maturity. Wisdom doesn�t necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself. Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man. Old men are like that, you know. It makes them feel important to think they are in love with somebody.
