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

“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.”

“Old age and the passage of time teach all things.”

“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.”

“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.”
