“We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing!”
Benjamin Franklin

“A man knows he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
“People grow old only by deserting their ideals, Macarthur had written. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.”
Douglas MacArthur
“At 20 years of age the will reigns; at 30 the wit; at 40 the judgement.”
“As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Many foxes grow gray but few grow good.”
“How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrid, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young. It will never be older than this particular day of June. . . . If it was only the other way! If it was I who were to be always young, and the picture that were to grow old! For this--for this--I would give everything! Yes, there is nothing in the whole world I would not give!”
Oscar Wilde
“As we age, we get stronger. Smell, however, isn't everything”
Terence T. Gorski
