Old age may have its limitations and challenges, but in spite of them, our latter years can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling of our lives.

In an ageing society, it makes sense to support older adults to develop new skills, prolonging their working lives.

With aging comes physical and emotional challenge. We cannot seem to get as much done in an hour as we did in youth. And it is harder to be patient with others, and they seem more demanding.

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.

The exhaustion of old age is something people who are younger don't fully appreciate.

As human beings we value the experience that comes with age. We are reminded over and over again with statements like 'older and wiser' and 'respect your elders,' promoting age as something to be cherished and respected.

Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.

Our age gives the more receptive among the young such a sense of social responsibility that one is inclined at times to fear that social interests may encroach upon individual development, that a knowledge of all the ills affecting the community may act as too powerful a damper on the joys of youth.

In America the young are always ready to give to those who are older than themselves the full benefits of their inexperience.
