- Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty. — Coco Chanel

- We turn not older with years, but newer every day. — Emily Dickinson
- I have everything now I had twenty years ago except now it's all lower. — Gypsy Rose Lee
- Age is not a handicap. Age is nothing but a number. It is how you use it. — Diesel Payne
- But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
