Growing Old? Laugh It Off

Ronald Reagan once scored points in a political debate by asserting that he would not take advantage of his opponent's "youth and experience." That's just one of many quips about the benefits of advancing years that have made it into our popular lexicon. Here is a page full of "Old Age Adages," compiled by Michelle M. Banks, that will give you pause for thought and, in some cases, cause for mirth as well. From Bernard Baruch to Bob Hope, this colection of quotes celebrates the wisdom that comes with old age, while taking due note of the infirmities. Just a sample, from Ol' Ski Nose himself: "I don't generally feel anything until noon, then it's time for my nap." Truer words were never spoken!
