Age Quotes
Be wise with speed; a fool
at forty is a fool indeed
The person of wisdom
is the person of years.
No woman should ever be
quite accurate about her age.
It looks so calculating.
Old age, calm, expanded, broad with
the haughty breadth of the universe,
old age flowing free with the
delicious near-by freedom of death.
You end up as you deserve. In
old age you must put up with the
face, the friends, the health, and
the children you have earned.
If you carry your childhood with
you, you never become older.
When a noble life has prepared old
age, it is not decline that it reveals,
but the first days of immortality.
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.
(Merchant Of Venice)
Old age adds to the respect due to
virtue, but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired
by vice; it whitens only the hair.
Just remember, once you're over
the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized
for a crime you haven't committed.
Age should not have its face lifted,
but it should rather teach the world to
admire wrinkles as the etchings of experience
and the firm line of character.

the hourglass of our life,
the clearer we should see through it.
You know you're getting old
when all the names in your black
book have M. D. after them.
The old -- like children -- talk to themselves,
for they have reached that hopeless wisdom
of experience which knows that though one
were to cry it in the streets to multitudes,
or whisper it in the kiss to one's beloved,
the only ears that can ever
hear one's secrets are one's own!
