When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.

The older I get, the more clearly I remember things that never happened.

We are happier in many ways when we are old than when we were young. The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.

The foolish man conceives the idea of 'self.' The wise man sees there is no ground on which to build the idea of 'self;' thus, he has a right conception of the world and well concludes that all compounds amassed by sorrow will be dissolved again, but the truth will remain.

Growing older is not upsetting; being perceived as old is.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
