The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinions.

I am firmly of the opinion that women who make a lot of effort to hang onto their looks in middle age (unless they are beauties entertainers or prostitutes) are rather sad as one should surely have something more substantial to recommend one by this time such as kindness or cleverness.

In every age there has been a stream of popular opinion that has carried all before it and given a family character as it were to the century.

We accumulate our opinions at an age when our understanding is at its weakest.

A woman tells her doctor 'I've got a bad back.' The doctor says 'It's old age.' The woman says 'I want a second opinion.' The doctor says: 'Okay - you're ugly as well.'

Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems in my opinion to characterize our age.

The tendency of old age to the body say the physiologists is to form bone. It is as rare as it is pleasant to meet with an old man whose opinions are not ossified.
