The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.

All diseases run into one, old age.

Between eighteen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.

The religion of one age is the literary entertainment of the next.
