Age
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul.
Old age is like climbing a mountain. You climb from ledge to ledge. The higher you get, the more tired and breathless you become, but your views become more extensive.
The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.
A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.
Men are like wine. Some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age.
The trick is to grow up without growing old.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
There are 3 periods of life: youth, middle age, and "how well you look."
A man is as old as the woman he feels.
Age doesn't matter unless you're a cheese.
Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age.
Experience is a great advantage. The problem is that when you get the experience you're too damned old to do anything about it.
The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded on a fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older.
The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.
In youth money is a convenience, an aid to pleasure. In age it is an absolute necessity, for when we are old we have to buy even consideration and politeness from those about us.
You're only young once but you can be immature all your life.
If you don't learn to laugh at troubles, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.
Develop your eccentricities while you're young. That way, when you get old, people won't think you're going gaga.
Old people shouldn't eat health foods. They need all the preservatives they can get.
Every man is enthusiastic at times. One man has enthusiasm for 30 mins. - another for 30 days BUT it is the man who has it for 30 yrs. who makes a succes of his life.
Youth is the gift of nature but age is a work of art.
I'd like to be a better person everyday than I am today. For all of us, as we grow older, we must discipline ourselves to continue expanding, broadening, learning, keeping our minds active and open.
