The old man, of whom we know how he has become what he is, is more of an individual than the young man; for it is only in the course of an eventful life that men are differentiated into full individuality.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There comes a time in every man's life when he must make way for an older man.
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
I hate to generalize, but in general, both men and women suffer from ageism. Men much less because men gain power as they get older. Women lose power as they get older. Men are seen as gaining experience and being distinguished. Sons look forward to replacing their fathers.
My old man is a man of few words.
Young men, hear an old man to whom old men hearkened when he was young.
A young man without ambition is an old man waiting to be.
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
A man does not die of love or his liver or even of old age; he dies of being a man.
A man is sometimes as different from himself as he is from others.
Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. If we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old.
