“Age, like distance lends a double charm”

“To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.”

“A woman's always younger than a man at equal years”

“No one is so old as to think he cannot live one more year”

“It was one of the deadliest and heaviest feelings of my life to feel that I was no longer a boy. From that moment I began to grow old in my own esteem, and in my esteem age is not estimable”

“We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count”
