Age appears to be best in four things;
old wood best to burn,
old wine to drink,
old friends to trust,
and old authors to read.
Francis Bacon

Every man desires to live long,
but no man wishes to be old.

Age and matter
Age is an issue of mind over matter.
If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
Mark Twain
Old
It is not how old you are,
but how you are old.
Jules Renard
Wine and age
Men are like wine – some turn to vinegar,
but the best improve with age.
Pope John XXIII
Stay young
Anyone who stops learning is old,
whether at twenty or eighty.
Anyone who keeps learning stays young.
The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
Henry Ford
Growing up
The trick is growing up
without growing old.
Casey Stengel
Growing old / Staying young
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years.
We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin,
but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Samuel Ullman
Art Age
Youth is the gift of nature,
but age is a work of art.
Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
