To be 70 years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be 40 years old.

To grow old is to grow common. Old age equalizes - we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.

Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.

To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.

There are people whose watch stops at a certain hour and who remain permanently at that age.

He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young.

Successful men follow the same advice they prescribe for others.

Advice is the only commodity on the market where the supply always exceeds the demand.

One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty councils. The thing is to supply light and not heat

Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.
