There is a trade off - as you grow older you gain wisdom but you lose spontaneity.

Any attempts at autobiography before the age of eighty seem pretty self-involved to me. There are a lot of smart middle aged people but not many wise ones.

Usually youth is for freedom and reform, maturity for judicious compromise, and old age for stability and repose.

I was young and foolish then; now I am old and foolisher.

Wrinkles will only go where the smiles have been.

There's a vintage which comes with age and experience.
