"A young man is embarrassed to question an older one."

"He who is of calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden."

"Before you contradict an old man, my fair friend, you should endeavor to understand him."

"It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. The reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides."

"As for me, except for an occasional heart attack, I feel as young as I ever did."

"Old age is not so bad when you consider the alternatives."

"I grow more intense as I age."

"With age come the inner, the higher life. Who would be forever young, to dwell always in externals?"

"We who are of mature age seldom suspect how unmercifully and yet with what insight the very young judge us."

"It is kind of strange watching your personal history become costume."
