“How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete”

“Out of the frying pan and into the fire”

“A shoe too large trips one up”

“Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice”

“To be caught between a rock and a hard place”

“I would as soon leave to my son a curse as the almighty Dollar”
