Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.

Some people die at age 25 and aren't buried until they are 75.

The weight of this sad time we must obey; speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. The oldest hath borne most: we that are young, shall never see so much, nor live so long.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

The wiser mind mourns less for what age takes away than what it leaves behind.

He who is of a 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.

We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing.

Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age.

Age is not better, hardly so well, qualified for an instructor as youth, for it has not profited so much as it has lost.

Old age isn’t so bad when you consider the alternative.

I remember my youth and the feeling that I could last forever, outlast the sea, the earth and all men.
