Genius has no youth, but starts with the ripeness of age and old experience.

Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen

It is better to be a young June-bug than an old bird of paradise

I was young and foolish then; now I am old and foolish

Life should begin with age and its privileges and accumulations, and end with youth and its capacity to splendidly enjoy such advantages.

We can't reach old age by another man's road. My habits protect my life but they would assassinate you.
