Growing Old
Saturday, January 22, 2011 - - 0 Comments
A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
Maurice Chevalier
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
Robert Frost
A man growing old becomes a child again.
Sophocles
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.

After thirty, a body has a mind of its own.
Bette Midler
After you're older, two things are possibly more important than any others: health and money.

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
Tom Stoppard
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost.
