10 Quotes: Aging and growing old
I look forward to being older, when what you look like becomes less and less an issue and what you are is the point.
– Susan Sarandon
I was wise enough to never grow up while fooling most people into believing I had.
– Margaret Mead
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul.
– Douglas MacArthur
The old believe everything; the middle aged suspect everything: the young know everything.
– Oscar Wilde
