“Age is opportunity no less than youth itself”

“A man should be taller, older, heavier, uglier, and hoarser than his wife”

“We don't understand life any better at forty than at twenty, but we know it and admit it”

“I have more memories than if I were a thousand years old”

“Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed”

“There is not a more unhappy being than a superannuated idol”
