The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it.Arthur Schopenhauer
True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.Honoré de Balzac
It is with an old love as it is with old age a man lives to all the miseries, but is dead to all the pleasures.Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms inside your head, and people in them, acting. People you know, yet can't quite name.Francois de La Rochefoucauld
At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.Benjamin Franklin
Whenever a man's friends begin to compliment him about looking young, he may be sure that they think he is growing old.Victor Hugo
Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.Coco Chanel
Most people don't grow up. It's too damn difficult. What happens is most people get older. That's the truth of it. They honor their credit cards, they find parking spaces, they marry, they have the nerve to have children, but they don't grow up.Maya Angelou
