“There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.”

“The best part about being my age is in knowing how my life worked out.”

“To think, when one is no longer young, when one is not yet old, that one is no longer young, that one is not yet old, that is perhaps something.”

“Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be.”

“We do not count a man’s years until he has nothing else to count.”

“If I retired, I’d still do exactly what I do. So I may as well not retire. Retire from what? I’d do this for nothing.”
