Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. on age

I don’t generally feel anything until noon, then it’s time for my nap.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
