“It’s time to follow our hearts, while we still have some legs.”

“It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.”

“Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it’s the only time we’ve got.”

“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.”

“The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.”

“The most important thing I can tell you about aging is this: If you really feel that you want to have an off-the-shoulder blouse and some big beads and thong sandals and a dirndl skirt and a magnolia in your hair, do it. Even if you’re wrinkled.”
