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

“Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.”

“Old age equalizes — we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.”

“It is strange that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.”

“Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as you despair.”

“The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.”
