Age is a matter of feeling not of years.
'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.
Like many women my age I am 28 years old.
Do you remember when you were 10 or 11 years old and you really thought your folks were the best? They were completely omniscient and you took their word for everything. And then you got older and you went through this hideous age when suddenly they were the devil they were bullies and they didn't know anything.
Few women I fear have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.
At twenty years of age the will reigns at thirty the wit and at forty the judgment.
While one finds company in himself and his pursuits he cannot feel old no matter what his years may be.
In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.
The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes but you don't change at all. And that of course causes great confusion.
