“Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.”
Dwight L. Moody
“We can't reach old age by another man's road. My habits protect my life but they would assassinate you.”
Mark Twain
“All would live long; but none would be old”
Benjamin Franklin
“Learning is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, and a provision in old age.”
Aristotle
“At times is it seems that I am living my life backward, and that at the approach of old age my real youth will begin. My soul was born covered with wrinkles-wrinkles that my ancestors and parents most assiduously put there and that I had the greatest trouble removing.”
Andre Gide
“It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.”
Simone de Beauvoir
“I venerate old age; and I love not the man who can look without emotion upon the sunset of life, when the dusk of evening begins to gather over the watery eye, and the shadows of twilight grow broader and deeper upon the understanding.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
