The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that from age to age nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.

The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.

If you're old don't try to change yourself change your environment.

My notion of a wife at 40 is that a man should be able to change her like a bank note for two 20s.

One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young.

The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes but you don't change at all. And that of course causes great confusion.
