Aging |

afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still. |

| Never trust
a woman who tells you her real age; a woman who tells you
that would tell you anything. -Oscar Wilde |

age by friends - not years, Count your life by smiles - not
tears |

give someone a piece of your mind, make sure you can get by
with what is left |

regret growing old....It is a privilege denied many |
|
| Experience
is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake
when you make it again. |
|
| Experience
is something you don't get until just after you need it. |
|
|
Grandchildren are God's way of compensating us for growing
old. |

| Growing old
is mandatory, Growing up is optional. |
|
| Grandmas
are angels in training. |
|
| Grandmas
are just ancient little girls. |

old, they never become good. -Oscar Wilde |
|
| The old
believe everything; the middle-aged suspect everything; the
young know everything. -Oscar Wilde |
|
| The man who
is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he is an
optimist after it, he knows too little. -Mark Twain |
|
| There was
never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an
impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a
drama, a comedy, and a tragedy. -Twain |
|
| Wrinkles
should merely indicate where smiles have been. -Mark Twain |
