“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.”

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

“What is an adult? A child blown up by 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.”

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on.”
