age

I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always fifteen years older than I am.

Age is only a number, a cipher for the records. A man can't retire his experience. He must use it. Experience achieves more with less energy and time.

At twenty years of age, the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.

Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle; Old Age a regret.

That we may live to see England once more possess a free Monarchy and a privileged and prosperous People, is my Prayer; that these great consequences can only be brought about by the energy and devotion of our Youth is my persuasion. We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.

The disappointment of manhood succeeds to the delusion of youth: let us hope that the heritage of old age is not despair.

The characteristic of the present age is craving credulity.

That praises are without reason lavished on the dead, and that the honours due only to are paid to antiquity, is a complaint likely to be always continued by those who, being able to add nothing to truth, hope for eminence from the heresies of paradox; or those who, being forced by disappointment upon consolatory expedients, are willing to hope from posterity what the present age refuses, and flatter themselves that the regard which is yet denied by envy will be at last bestowed by time.

He was not of an age but for all time.

Most men who are not married by the age of thirty-five are either homosexual or really smart.
