It is with an old love as it is with old age a man lives to all the miseries, but is dead to all the pleasures.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
One of the many pleasures of old age is giving things up.
There comes a time in every man's life when he must make way for an older man.
The love we have in our youth is superficial compared to the love that an old man has for his old wife.
Irrespective of age, we mourn for those loved and lost. Mourning is one of the deepest expressions of pure love.
Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young, the habituation of the middle-aged, and the mutual dependence of the old.
Love has no age, no limit; and no death.
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
A man does not die of love or his liver or even of old age; he dies of being a man.
