Results from Poor Man's College:

The failure of the mind in old age is often less the results of natural decay, than of disuse. Ambition has ceased to operate; contentment bring indolence, and indolence decay of mental power, ennui, and sometimes death. Men have been known to die, literally speaking, of disease induced by intellectual vacancy.: Sir B. Brodie
Memory tempers prosperity, mitigates adversity, control youth, and delights old age.: Firmianus Lactantius
How small a portion of our life it is that we really enjoy! In youth we are looking forward to things that are to come; in old age we are looking backward to things that are gone past; in manhood, although we appear indeed to be more occupied in things that are present, yet even that is too often absorbed in vague determinations to be vastly happy on some future day when we have time.: C. C. Colton
Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age.: Booth Tarkington (1869 - 1946)
Few ever live to old age, and fewer still ever became distinguished, who were not in the habit of early rising.: J. Todd
Old age may seem a long way off. But on the day it doesn't, it will be too late to do anything about it.: Author Unknown
A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.: Pindar (522 BC - 443 BC)
When I was young I was amazed at Plutarch's statement that the elder Cato began at the age of eighty to learn Greek. I am amazed no longer. Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.: W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965)
To grow old is to grow common. Old age equalizes - we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.: Andre Bernard Buruch
