“Another old friend gone!”

“.. I'll be laughing when I'm old and and all my programmer friends have gone alexic from staring at too many tiny pixels”

“There's no friends like the old friends.”

“At the age of twenty six I am in the condition of an aged person — all my old friends are gone … & my heart fails when I think by how few ties I hold to the world….”

“When seeing today the defendants on the dock, don’t believe them to be the old Combat Group Peiper. All my old friends and comrades have gone before! These people who plead for mitigating circumstances are only the negative selection! The real outfit is waiting for me in Valhalla!”

“I am not old, — I cannot be old,
Though threescore years and ten
Have wasted away, like a tale that is told,
The lives of other men:

I am not old ; though friends and foes
Alike have gone to their graves,
And left me alone to my joys or my woes,
As a rock in the midst of the waves.”

“I love everything that's old: old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wines.”

“136. Old wine and an old friend are good provisions.”

“Old friends, like old shoes, are comfortable. But old shoes, unlike old friends, tend not to be supportive: it is easier to stumble and sprain an ankle while wearing a pair of old shoes than it is in new shoes, with their less yielding leather.”

“There are three faithful friends, an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.”
