Why do people talk of the horrors of old age? It's great. I feel like a fine old car with the parts gradually wearing out but I'm not complaining ... Those who find growing old terrible are people who haven't done what they wanted with their lives.

It is not the young people that degenerate they are not spoiled till those of mature age are already sunk into corruption.

Those who improve with age embrace the power of personal growth and personal achievement and begin to replace youth with wisdom innocence with understanding and lack of purpose with self-actualization.

The defects of the mind like those of the face grow worse with age.

Experience is a revelation in the light of which we renounce our errors of youth for those of age.

To teach how to live without certainty and yet without being paralysed by hesitation is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy in our age can do for those who study it.

Those who love deeply never grow old they may die of old age but they die young.

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.
