A woman's life can really be a succession of lives...

I have always had the courage for the new things that life sometimes offers.

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

I never make a trip to the United States without visiting a supermarket. To me they are more fascinating than any fashion salon.

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

No man was ever so completely skilled in the conduct of life, as not to receive new information from age and experience.

I got to experience soccer at the highest level at a young age I decided I wanted to be part of that for as long as possible.

The great book for you is the book that has the most to say to you at the moment when you are reading. I do not mean the book that is most instructive, but the book that feeds your spirit. And that depends on your age, your experience, your psychological and spiritual need.

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.
