"I'm as old as my tongue and..." - Quote by Jonathan Swift

“Then, rising with Aurora's light, The Muse invoked, sit down to write; Blot out, correct, insert, refine, Enlarge, diminish, interline.”

“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect.”

“Conversation is but carving! Give no more to every guest Than he's able to digest.”

“The heat of youth is not more opposed to safety than the coldness of age.”

“There is an old poor man,. . . . Oppress'd with two weak evils, age and hunger.”

“Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.”

“I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.”

“It is true that my parents were worried because I began to speak fairly late, so that they even consulted a doctor. I can't say how old I was - but surely not less than three.”

“If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?”
