"Age imprints more wrinkles in the mind than it does on the face." ― Michel de Montaigne Topic(s): Age More From Michel de Montaigne "If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I." "There is not much less vexation in the government of a private family than in the managing of an entire state." "If you don’t know how to die, don’t worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don’t bother your head about it." More In Age "It is folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution."― Joseph Addison "A bad manner spoils everything, even reason and justice; a good one supplies everything, gilds a No, sweetens a truth, and adds a touch of beauty to old age itself."― Baltasar Gracian "I gambled and I lost. I failed in securing my options for this choice for myself, but I succeeded in verifying the Dark Age is still with us."― Jack Kevorkian
