Bad news isn't wine. It doesn't improve with age.

The lovely thing about being forty is that you can appreciate twenty-five-year-old men more.

Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.

I'm at peace with myself and where I am. In the past, I was always looking to see how everybody else was doing. I wasn't competitive, I was comparative. I just wanted to be where everybody else was. Now I've gotten to an age when I am not comparing anymore.

How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.

I don't think age matters. In cricket, if you have the skill, you can go on playing.

I don't think we should have less information in the world. The information age has yielded great advances in medicine, agriculture, transportation and many other fields. But the problem is twofold.

Tiger Woods was a month away from 34 years of age when his debutantes began turning up in the news. He was a grown man with a wife and two children. Well, we supposed he had a wife, but that was before we learned she was only an ornament.

Age doesn't bother me. So many of my heroes were older guys. It's the lack of years left that weighs far heavier on me than the age that I am.

In this age of media and Internet access, we are much more talkative than ever before.

What's interesting about the shift from an industrial age to a technological age is that we keep inventing new media: movies, records, radio, television, the Internet, and now ebooks - and one of the things that's most interesting about the invention of a new medium is watching it reinvent itself as it penetrates the culture.

We're seeing the arrival of conversational robots that can walk in our world. It's a golden age of invention.

We live in an age of innovation, where digital technology is providing solutions to problems before we've even realised we needed them. We see it every day as we find new ways to travel, eat and shop.

Universities are the cathedrals of the modern age. They shouldn't have to justify their existence by utilitarian criteria.

Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.

Old age has got to start creeping up on me one day soon, and frankly I'm very scared. I don't want to be old. I've always felt so young. And I want to stay that way.

New Age values are conscious evolution, a non-sectarian society, a non-military culture, global sharing, healing the environment, sustainable economies, self-determination, social justice, economic empowerment of the poor, love, compassion in action, going beyond religious fundamentalism, going beyond nationalism-extreme nationalism, culture.

Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever.

Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.

Of middle age the best that can be said is that a middle-aged person has likely learned how to have a little fun in spite of his troubles.

The really frightening thing about middle age is the knowledge that you'll grow out of it.

Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.

The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion.
