This wine is forty years old. It certainly doesn't show its age

A man over ninety is a great comfort to all his elderly neighbors: he is a picket-guard at the extreme outpost; and the young folks of sixty and seventy feel that the enemy must get by him before he can come near their camp

Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made

Study until twenty five, investigate until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance

Every man over forty is a scoundrel

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