"The vivacity that augments with years is..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Some weak people are so sensible of their weakness as to be able to make a good use of it.”

“We pardon as long as we love.”

“Good taste comes more from the judgment than from the mind.”

“It is the peculiar quality of a fool to perceive the faults of others and to forget his own.”

“Fools are apt to imitate only the defects of their betters.”

“Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it.”

“Wherever there is power there is age.”

“You are never too old to become younger!”

“It just happened that we did [Fences] seven years ago on Broadway. Scott Rudin brought me August Wilson's original screenplay for it, and I realized I hadn't read the play. So I read it. Then I realized that Troy (my character) was 53 - and I was 55 at the time. I realized I better hurry up! I might be too old!”
