"When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality. " — Anne Louise Germaine de Stael-Holstein

To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.

At 20 years of age the will reigns; at 30 the wit; and at 40 the judgment

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

To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.

Everyone is the age of their heart

Age, like distance lends a double charm
