Publisher's Synopsis
As they say, getting old is better than the alternative, especially when you can draw on the wit and wisdom of the ages to age with grace, humour and optimism. This book gathers together more than 150 quotations from writers, actors, athletes, humorists, politicians and other great minds and entertainers from bygone eras to today. The varied quotations range from the irreverent ("The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age." Lucille Ball) to the whimsical ("Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional." Walt Disney), to the sage ("Do not grow old no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born." Albert Einstein). This rich and inspiring collection makes a timeless and perennial gift for seniors and anyone who loves to be amused and inspired.
