Children are the anchors of a mother's life....

A man growing old becomes a child again.

No lie ever reaches old age.

You should not consider a man's age but his acts.

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.

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.

Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.

Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.

There is nothing in the world of art like the songs mother used to sing.

A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.

God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.
