"The older I get, the more I feel almost beautiful..."

"Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough."

"Aging is not 'lost youth' but a new stage of opportunity and strength."

"An old doting fool, with one foot already in the grave."

"A person is always startled when he hears himself seriously called an old man for the first time."

"The young have aspirations that never come to pass, the old have reminiscences of what never happened."

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

"About the only thing that comes to us without effort is old age."

"Sure I'm for helping the elderly. I'm going to be old myself some day."

"To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent - that is to triumph over old age."
