Growing old - 65 to 80

I’m sixty-five and I guess that puts me in with the geriatrics, but if there were fifteen months in every year, I’d only be forty-eight.
- James Thurber

Seventy is wormwood,
Seventy is gall.
It’s better to be seventy than not alive at all.
- Phyllis McGinley

My diseases are asthma and dropsy and, what is less curable, seventy-five.
- Samuel Johnson

I don’t feel eighty. In fact I don’t feel anything till noon. Then it’s time for my nap.
- Bob Hope
