Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happen to a man.
Old age is the supreme evil, for it deprives man of all pleasures while allowing his appetites to remain, and it brings with it every possible sorrow. Yet men fear death and desire old age.
How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.
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.
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow so.
With age comes the understanding and appreciation of your most important asset, your health.
A man has generally the good or ill qualities, which he attributes to mankind.
A man's illness is his private territory and, no matter how much he loves you and how close you are, you stay an outsider. You are healthy.
Old age is not a disease - it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
