“Love reckons hours for months, and days for years; and every little absence is an age”

“Few people know how to be old”

“We pay when old for the excesses of youth”

“Old age, calm, expanded, broad with the haughty breadth of the universe, old age flowing free with the delicious near-by freedom of death”

“There's life in the old dog yet.”

“Whoever, fleeing marriage and the sorrows that women cause, does not wish to wed comes to a deadly old age. ”
