“A silly society is a youth-obsessed society: To the Chinese, who appreciate the value of experience, the greater the ratio in a team of grey ‘hairs and no-hairs’ to ‘black hairs’—the faster and better a task will be completed. The opposite assumption obtains in the youth-obsessed U. S.”

“Old folks love to seem wise- and if you are silly enough to correspond with grey hairs, take the consequence.”

“The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb grey hairs”

“And in that one grey hair I saw my whole life and I said "I think I need a hair.”

“To silver may age never turn your hair!
And may I ever keep the looks of youth!”

“Your nose hair… which is grey… is in my eye.”

““You split hairs.”
“Better to split hairs than the heads beneath them.””

“Virgil is serene and lovely like a marble Apollo in the moonlight; Homer is a beautiful, animated youth in the full sunlight with the wind in his hair.”

“There is only one cure for grey hair. It was invented by a Frenchman. It is called the guillotine.”

“I'm going to usher in this entire new culture of the youth, obsessed with the future.”
