Age Quotes
Always be nice to those younger than you, because they are the ones who will be writing about you.
There is no old age. There is, as there always was, just you.
Old age is always 15 years older than I am.
I was always taught to respect my elders and I've now reached the age when I don't have anybody to respect.
I grow more intense as I age.
About the only thing that comes to us without effort is old age.
A young man is embarrassed to question an older one.
The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes.
Though it sounds absurd, it is true to say I felt younger at sixty than I felt at twenty.
Young men's minds are always changeable, but when an old man is concerned in a matter, he looks both before and after.
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.
Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age.
Middle age is when your classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald they don't recognize you.
Middle age occurs when you are too young to take up golf and too old to rush up to the net.
The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything; the young know everything.
With age come the inner, the higher life. Who would be forever young, to dwell always in externals ?
Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.
There is no old age. There is, as there always was, just you.

Turn to the girl sitting next to you at the bar and say...
"I'm not really this tall....I'm sitting on my wallet."
Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
