When you get rid of all the older people, you get rid of all the wisdom.

Every new thing I have learned in my old age,I have learned from children

How terrible, Jack thought, to be old and know that your life has been wasted.

I'm not senile," I snapped. "If I burn the house down it will be on purpose.

I am a fading phantasmagoria. Time has left me in partial glory."--Fidelis O Mkparu

Young people must appreciate the beauty of old age. The old people were once young.

The land of easy mathematics where he who works adds up and he who retires subtracts.

I’m willing to die for the woman I love. I just want to take 75 years to do it.

If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.

In later life most good things happen very slowly; only bad things tend to happen fast.

No old lady would be that conniving if she didn't have a little spunk left in her.

I don’t feel old. I just feel like someone young who has something wrong with him.

Learning is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, and a provision in old age.

Death is coming—but hopefully not before old age, decrepitude, and senility.


... and I experienced the bitter helplessness of a taunted old man dying to be whole again.
