It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen....

Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.

A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.

What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease.

Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.

It's sad, actually, because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age.
