Emile Coue Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age. Victor Hugo I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I am frightened of the old ones. John Cage The California climate makes the sick well and the well sick, the old young and the young old. H.L. Mencken The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy. Helen Hayes Skill to do comes of doing. Emerson The older we get, the better we was. It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.
