Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To be old can be glorious if one has not unlearned how to begin.
Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.
Age is like love, it cannot be hid.
He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young.
The present times require the vigor and the activity of the prime of life; but I feel the increasing infirmities of age to such a degree, that I am conscious I cannot serve you to advantage.
I find age such a foreign concept. I have to be reminded. I still have the extraordinary feeling of adventure, striking out into unknown fields.
For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.
I'll tell you, there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.
Fame comes and goes. Longevity is the thing to aim for.
I think being able to age gracefully is a very important talent. It is too late for me.
