Age

Statistics show that of those who contract the habit of eating, very few survive

Some people reach the age of sixty before others

My only fear is that I may live too long. This would be a subject of dread to me

Everything I know I learned after I was thirty

Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.

Every man over forty is a scoundrel

Young men soon give, and soon forget affronts, old age is slow in both

It is the privilege of posterity to set matters right between those antagonists who, by their rivalry for greatness, divided a whole age

There is not a more unhappy being than a superannuated idol

Age is opportunity no less than youth itself

To create a little flower is the labour of ages

So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why doesn't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women

Memory in youth is active and easily impressible; in old age it is comparatively callous to new impressions, but still retains vividly those of earlier years

Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked

Let age approve of youth, and death complete the same

They that have lived a single day have lived an age

A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.

I'd like to grow very old as slowly as possible.

We grow gray in our spirit long before we grow gray in our hair.
