Age

Everyone is the age of their heart

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.

A woman's always younger than a man at equal years

No one is so old as to think he cannot live one more year

Age, like distance lends a double charm

The greatest comfort of my old age, and that which gives me the highest satisfaction, is the pleasing remembrance of the many benefits and friendly offices I have done to others.

There are so many things about which some old man ought to tell one while one is little; for when one is grown one would know them as a matter of course

We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count

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

Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

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

Few people know how to be old

We pay when old for the excesses of youth

Old age, calm, expanded, broad with the haughty breadth of the universe, old age flowing free with the delicious near-by freedom of death
