I've gotten to the age where I'm comfortable with just about everything - except getting old!

Our old age was in some respects the happiest period of life.

A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.

Growing old gracefully used to begin at about 35, but today women prefer to 'stay young gratefully' with thanks to designers, beauticians and plastic surgeons.

Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years.

My mother enjoyed old age, and because of her I've begun to enjoy parts of it too. So far I've had it good and am crumbling nicely.

I love that my friends are sometimes even 20, 30 years older than me - that I can just sit and enjoy their company and their experiences.

My mum is great for keeping hold of old classics - pieces of clothing that never age and never go out of fashion. She also says, 'Make sure you always smile - it makes everything look better!'

As I started getting older, I realized, 'I'm so happy!' I didn't expect this! I wasn't happy when I was young.

I admire those people who hold on to their elegance in old age but I'd rather have fun.
