"Middle Age - later than you think..." - Quote by Earl Wilson

“A bachelor is a guy who leans toward women - but not far enough to lose his balance.”

“Somebody figured it out- we have 35 million laws trying to enforce Ten Commandments.”

“He's an honest man - you could shoot craps with him over the telephone.”

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

“When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this but we all have to do it.”

“I have been advised by the best medical authority, at my age, not to attempt to give up alcohol.”

“Grandparenthood is one of life's rewards for surviving your own children.”

“The greatest potential for growth and self-realisation exists in the second half of life.”

“In youth it is the outward aspect of things that most engages us; while in age, thought or reflection is the predominating qualityof the mind. Hence, youth is the time for poetry, and age is more inclined to philosophy. In practical affairs it is the same: a man shapes his resolutions in youth more by the impression that the outward world makes upon him; whereas, when he is old, it is thought that determines his actions.”
