“What though youth gave love and roses,
Age still leaves us friends and wine.”

“Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!”

“Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.”

“T is now the summer of your youth. Time has not cropt the roses from your cheek, though sorrow long has washed them.”

“5515. What's sowed in Youth, will be reaped in Age.”

“Age appears best in four things: old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust and old authors to read.”

“Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.”

“Friends are the siblings God never gave us.”

“Alonso of Aragon was wont to say in commendation of age, that age appears to be best in four things — old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.”

“To make good use of life, one should have in youth the experience of advanced years, and in old age the vigor of youth.”
