Age imprints more wrinkles in the mind than it does on the face
The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything
No age is shut against great genius
The monumental pomp of age
Was with this goodly personage;
A stature undepressed in size,
Unbent, which rather seemed to rise
In open victory o'er the weight
Of seventy years, to loftier height.

The White Doe of Rylstone
My only fear is that I may live too long. This would be a subject of dread to me.
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in His hand
Who saith, 'A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: See all, nor be
afraid!'

Rabbi ben Ezra
I know that age to age succeeds,
Blowing a noise of tongues and deeds,
A dust of systems and of creeds.
