“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.”

“I didn’t get old on purpose, it just happened. If you’re lucky, it could happen to you.”

“Don’t let aging get you down. It’s too hard to get back up.”

“I have reached the age when, if someone tells me to wear socks, I don’t have to.”

“At age 20, we worry about what others think of us. At age 40, we don’t care what they think of us. At age 60, we discover they haven’t been thinking of us at all.”

“The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age.”
