3. “The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.

8. “Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art, 
9. “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. 
10. “The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven’t changed in 70 or 80 years. Your body changes, but you don’t change at all

20. “Aging is an inevitable process. I surely wouldn’t want to grow younger. The older you become, the more you know; your bank account of knowledge is much richer 
21. “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

24. “For the unlearned, old age is winter; for the learned, it is the season of the harvest .
