But though an old man, I am but a young gardener.

I can't believe I've turned into a typical old man. I can't believe it. I was young just minutes ago.

He is young but he thinks old.

I'm little but I'm old.

I am not old, — I cannot be old, Though tottering, wrinkled, and gray ; Though my eyes are dim, and my marrow is cold, Call me not old to-day.

I am old, but I certainly have not that sign of old age, extolling the past at the expense of the present.

I will never be an old man. To me old age is always 15 years older than I am.

I am not old, — I cannot be old, Though threescore years and ten Have wasted away, like a tale that is told, The lives of other men: I am not old ; though friends and foes Alike have gone to their graves, And left me alone to my joys or my woes, As a rock in the midst of the waves.

I’m decrepit, but I ain’t senile.

Whatever age you are today, your future self would love to be it.

Most people do not consider 65 to be a young age, but when you're 75 you'd love to rewind to 65 and regain those years. Few people would describe 35 as your youth, but in your mid-50s your mid-30s will seem like the "young you."

Today is a great opportunity, no matter your age. Looking back in a few years, today will seem like the time when you were young and full of potential or the moment when you could have started early or the turning point when you made a choice that benefited your future.

The moment in front of you right now is a good one. Make the most of it.

I was so much older then; I'm younger than that now.

From the back pages

But I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.

Fifty years ago I seemed to myself older than other people assumed me to be; now I seem younger.

Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
