John Buchan on age

An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support.

We can pay our debts to the past by putting the future in debt to ourselves.

It is only a dying cause which can attain to perfect taste.

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.
