“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.”

“In childhood be modest, in youth temperate, in adulthood just, and in old age prudent.”

“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.”

“There are three classes into which all the women past seventy that ever I knew were to be divided: 1. That dear old soul; 2. That old woman; 3. That old witch.”
