Will Rogers on Aging

[Merlin1047]

First, Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age
and start bragging about it.

Second, The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Third, Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people
to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the
roads weren't paved.

Fourth, When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth,
think of Algebra.

Fifth, You know you are getting old when every thing either dries up or
leaks.

Sixth, I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

Seventh, One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is
such a nice change from being young.

Eighth, One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.
Ninth, Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Tenth, Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was
called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

And finally, If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
