“The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.”

“To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kind, cheerful, reverent — that is to triumph over old age.”

“Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you’ve got to start young.”

“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.”

“Old age and the passage of time teach all things.”

“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.”
