OLD AGE The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in 70 or 80 years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. Doris Lessing There is no old age. There is, as there always was, just you. Carol Matthau

Age to me means nothing. I can't get old; I'm working. I was old when I was twenty-one and out of work. As long as you're working, you stay young. When I'm in front of an audience, all that love and vitality sweeps over me and I forget my age. George Burns To resist the frigidity of old age one must combine the body, the mind and the heart - and to keep them in parallel vigor one must exercise, study and love. Karl von Bonstetten As we grow old…the beauty steals inward. Ralph Waldo Emerson There is no happiness where there is no wisdom; No wisdom but in submission to the gods. Big words are always punished, And proud men in old age learn to be wise. Sophocles A life of peace, purity, and refinement leads to a calm and untroubled old age. Cicero
