Quotations
Age

-Michel De Montaigne
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
-Anaïs Nin
An old man is twice a child.
-William Shakespeare
You know you are getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
-Bob Hope
One aged man – one man – cannot fill a house.
-Robert Frost
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
-Muhammad Ali
He who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition, youth and age are equally a burden.
