Parents of young children should realize that few people, and maybe no one, will find their children as enchanting as they do.

What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

One of the things I've discovered at my age is I must have enchantment. And that was not clear to me in my earlier years. When I look at my favorite films, the Frank Capra - even Scorsese, even 'Goodfellas,' what makes that movie so remarkable is there's enchantment in their world.

When you enchant people, your goal is not to make money from them or to get them to do what you want, but to fill them with great delight.

At its best our age is an age of searchers and discoverers, and at its worst, an age that has domesticated despair and learned to live with it happily.

With age comes common sense and wisdom.

With age comes a greater wisdom, an ease and comfort with oneself.

When superstition is allowed to perform the task of old age in dulling the human temperament, we can say goodbye to all excellence in poetry, in painting, and in music.

Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.

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.
