Be careful with your words.
Once they are said,
they can only be forgiven,
Not forgotten.

Humor: Growing old
The best revenge we have upon the smugness of youth is knowing that the young will be old someday, too!
The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball. ~Doug Larson
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. ~Chili Davis
Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone. ~Jim Fiebig
The years teach much which the days never knew. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Inflation is when you pay fifteen dollars for the ten-dollar haircut you used to get for five dollars when you had hair. ~Sam Ewing
There is no pleasure worth forgoing just for an extra three years in the geriatric ward. ~John Mortimer
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative. ~Maurice Chevalier, New York Times, 9 October 1960
Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many. ~Author Unknown
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were? ~Satchel Paige
Be on the alert to recognize your prime at whatever time of your life it may occur. ~Muriel Spark
Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigour. With such people the grey head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well-spent life. ~Charles Dickens
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle. ~Bob Hope
Thirty-five is when you finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart. ~Caryn Leschen
Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age. ~Victor Hugo
Years ago we discovered the exact point, the dead center of middle age. It occurs when you are too young to take up golf and too old to rush to the net. ~Franklin Adams
Everyone is the age of their heart. ~Guatemalan Proverb
There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt. ~Author Unknown
Youth is a disease from which we all recover. ~Dorothy Fulheim
There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age - I missed it coming and going. ~J.B. Priestly
I still have a full deck; I just shuffle slower now. ~Author Unknown
Age is a high price to pay for maturity. ~Tom Stoppard
By the time I have money to burn, my fire will have burnt out. ~Author Unknown
We are young only once, after that we need some other excuse. ~Author Unknown
The key to successful aging is to pay as little attention to it as possible. ~Judith Regan
The first half of life consists of the capacity to enjoy without the chance; the last half consists of the chance without the capacity. ~Mark Twain
Grow old with me! The best is yet to be. ~Robert Browning
Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life. ~Herbert Asquith
Old age is fifteen years older than I am. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes
Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes
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. ~Doris Lessing
Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts. ~Martin Buxbaum
An archeologist is the best husband any woman can have: the older she gets, the more interested he is in her. ~Agatha Christie, news summaries, 9 March 1954
Whatever poet, orator, or sage may say of it, old age is still old age. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm. ~Henry David Thoreau
They say that age is all in your mind. The trick is keeping it from creeping down into your body. ~Author Unknown
Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act. ~Truman Capote
Never use the passing years as an excuse for old age. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com
Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician. ~Author Unknown
I spent my 30s fixing everything I broke in my 20s. ~Eddie Murphy

We turn not older with years, but newer every day. ~Emily Dickinson
Middle age is when a narrow waist and a broad mind begin to change places. ~Author Unknown
I don't do alcohol anymore - I get the same effect just standing up fast. ~Author Unknown
Age is just a number. Mine is unlisted. ~Author Unknown
I'm not 40, I'm eighteen with 22 years experience. ~Author Unknown
The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom. ~H.L. Mencken
