Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.

What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of one's faculties, mental and physical, but the burden of one's memories

He who wants to warm himself in old age must build a fireplace in his youth

As in this body, there are for the embodied one childhood, youth, old age, even so is there the taking on of another body.

Youth, large, lusty, loving - Youth, full of grace, force, fascination. Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace, force, fascination?

Youth is a blunder; manhood a struggle; old age a regret
