An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.

Age appears to be best in four things old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him, 'At my age, I don't even buy green bananas.'

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