“It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.”

“Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it’s the only time we’ve got.”

“Age appears to be best in four things: old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.”

“The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.”

“Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, and the youngest you’ll ever be again.”

“The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.”
