"It is a great pity when the one who should be the head figure is a mere figure head" — Charles Haddon Spurgeon

How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete

When in doubt, don’t

A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine

Old people are fond of giving good advice; it consoles them for no longer being capable of setting a bad example

What most persons consider as virtue, after the age of 40 is simply a loss of energy

Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice
