"Beware of the young doctor and the old barber."

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

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

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

"Young men's minds are always changeable, but when an old man is concerned in a matter, he looks both before and after."

"Age isa€|wisdom, if one has lived one's life properly."

"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."

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