Bill Gates quotes It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way. Charles Dickens quotes Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul. Douglas MacArthur quotes It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart. Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton quotes Old age ain't no place for sissies.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy quotes Old age has a great sense of calm and freedom. Plato quotes Praise be to Allah, Who has given me in old age Ismail and Ishaq; most surely my Lord is the Hearer of prayer.
