In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.

The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes but you don't change at all. And that of course causes great confusion.

Old age is fifteen years older than I am.

There is always some specific moment when we become aware that our youth is gone but years after we know it was much later.

I will never be an old man. To me old age is always 15 years older than I am.

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
