“To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.”

“You take all of the experience and judgment of men over 50 out of the world and there wouldn't be enough left to run it”

“At 20 years of age the will reigns; at 30 the wit; and at 40 the judgment”

“We turn not older with years, but newer every day.”

“Old people are fond of giving good advice; it consoles them for no longer being capable of setting a bad example”

“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.”
