“Don’t let aging get you down. It’s too hard to get back up.”

“I have reached the age when, if someone tells me to wear socks, I don’t have to.”

“Birthdays are ghost bounty hunters that track you down to ask, “Que pasa, baby?”

“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?”

“Old men are dangerous: it doesn’t matter to them what is going to happen to the world.”
