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

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

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

An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick

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

A shoe too large trips one up
