A man as he manages himself, may die old at thirty, or young at eighty.

Everyone wants to live long, but no one wants to be called old.

Maturity consists of no longer being taken in by oneself.

Years and sins are always more than owned.

When you see an old man amiable, mild, equable, content, and good humored, be sure that in his youth he had been just, generous, and forbearing. In his end he does not lament the past, not dread the future; he is like the evening of a fine day.

If young men had wit and old men strength everything might be well done.

Man fools himself. He prays for a long life, and he fears an old age.

The woman who tells her age is either too young to have anything to lose or too old to have anything to gain.

What the young one begs for, the grown-up throws away.
