As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body but can never be so in mind.

Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.

I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.

The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes but you don't change at all. And that of course causes great confusion.

Advice in old age is foolish for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.

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

It takes a long time to become young.

After thirty a body has a mind of its own.

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind your talents the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source you will truly have defeated age.

Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.

Old minds are like old horses you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order.

Forty is the old age of youth fifty is the youth of old age.
