on the topic of Age:

One of the hardest decisions in life is when to start middle life
You've reached middle age when all you can exercise is caution
Middle age is when you want to see how long your car will last instead of how fast it will go
The worst part about being over the hill is not being able to recall ever being on top of it
By the time you get to greener pastures, you're often too tired to climb over the fence
Life begins at 40, but so do bad eyesight, lumbago and arthritis
You know you are getting old when the only will you’ve got left is on paper
You know you are getting old when you hold all the cards, but they're get well cards
It’s not your age that matters, it’s how your matter ages
Old age isn’t so bad when you consider the alternative
If you wear dentures, a glass of water is something into which you can really sink your teeth
An old-timer remembers when a pie was set on the window sill to cool, not to thaw
The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and you are not yet decrepit enough to turn them down
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you’ve got to start young
You know you are getting old when you decide to procrastinate but never get around to it
There is no cure for birth and death, save to enjoy the interval
Old age - Your idea of a night out is sitting out on the porch
When you are over the hill you pick up speed

The most aggravating thing about the younger generation is that I no longer belong to it

Retirement takes the fun out of week-ends
