Live your life and forget your age.

• What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease.
• As winter strips the leaves from around us, so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
• Age does not matter if the matter does not age.
• Live your life and forget your age.
• Beauty attracts us men but if, like an armed magnet it is pointed, beside, with gold and silver, it attracts with tenfold power.
• Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall.
• Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.
• Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
• Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it, and conquering it.
• The darkness of death is like the evening twilight it makes all objects appear more lovely to the dying.
