Elderly

“

Now, of my threescore years and ten, Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more. And since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room, About the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow.

A. E. Housman

"Be wise with speed;
A fool at forty is a fool indeed." — Edward Young
“

Superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer.

William Shakespeare

“

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Appareled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
It is not now as it hath been of yore—
Turn wheresoe’er I may,
By night or day,
The things which I have seen I now can see no more.

William Wordsworth

“

Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made. Our times are in his hand.

Robert Browning

“

Time is the rider that breaks youth.

George Herbert
