Old age, especially an honoured old age, has so great authority, that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.
Old age has been charged with being insensible to pleasure and to enjoyments arising from the gratification of the senses, a most blessed and heavenly effect, truly, if it eases us of what in youth was the sorest plague of life
A life of peace, purity and refinement leads to a calm and untroubled old age.
I know not any season of life that is past more agreeably than virtuous old age.
