“I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel ”

“None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm ”

“Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul”

“Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought”

“While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be”

“When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age”
