George Burns

Age is something that doesn’t matter, unless you are a cheese.

If you're in good shape age is just a number.

An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
For every tatter in its mortal dress.

Sailing to Byzantium.

The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.
Oscar Wilde
The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth.

I grow old ... I grow old ...
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
T. S. Eliot

The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquillity of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
W. Somerset Maugham
The Summing Up.

I do not wish to grow old, to outlive my illusions. Only a short respite from cares and sorrow, a brief time of flowers, and music, and love, and laughter, and ecstatic tears.

Ziggy.

This is old age! A slow and sure decay!
A tott'ring edifice, crusted with mould,
Failing in strength and beauty ev'rywhere!
Its vaults, and noble arches, choked with weeds!
Its casements dark, and chambers thick with dust
Its pillars bowed, or prostrate on the ground!
C. B. Langston
Old Age.

Old men’s prayers for death are lying prayers, in which they abuse old age and long extent of life. But when death draws near, not one is willing to die, and age no longer is a burden to them.
Euripides
Alcestis.

When life's summer grows to winter
And its roses fade and fall;
When in vain we try to hinder
Death's commissioned right to all;
When on white lips there's a last kiss
And we see her face no more,
Then it is to know what love is,
Waiting on a foreign shore.
Edwin Leibfreed
'Tis Then We Know.

Mark Twain

You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.
