I thought since everyone seemed to like the famous last words I did last time, I would post these. My MIL just had her 60th Birthday last September, and these are just a few of the quotes I had posted at her surprise party. Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone. ~Jim Fiebig2.Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. ~Mark Twain 3.Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative. ~Maurice Chevalier, 4.Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle. ~Bob Hope 5.Old age is fifteen years older than I am. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes 6.Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act. ~Truman Capote 7.Old age ain't no place for sissies. ~Bette Davis 8.I don't know how you feel about old age... but in my case I didn't even see it coming. It hit me from the rear. ~Phyllis Diller 9.True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country. ~Kurt Vonnegut 10.You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do while you're down there.~George Burns 11.You've heard of the three ages of man - youth, age, and "you are looking wonderful." ~ Francis Cardinal Spellman 12.At my age flowers scare me.~George Burns 13.Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. ~Mark Twain

Hi, we posted at 13 headquarters at the same time. My 13 starts with a quote. Here's one to add to the theme here: Let life ripen and then let it fall. Lao Tzu
My grandpa allways says the quote about birthdays beating the alternative. I have to agree with a lot of these. My life certainly has gotten better each year. I feel blessed that now there are so many positive roll models for aging.
Great quotes! I've run across some of these before, but not all of them. My favourites include 2, 3, 5, and 13.
Happy TT. :)
I like 1, 3 and 13. Great quotes!
Great quotes! Ash Likey!
Good quotes.
Have a wonderful Thursday

I love those quotes. What a great idea for a TT.
I love number three...my grandmother always said she was having a good day as long as she was seeing the right side of the flowers.
Thanks for stopping by my TT.
I am such a quote junkie, loved this post! :)
13.Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. ~Mark Twain
I love that one. It's so true!
Uh oh...I kind of already do #10. Especially when I sit down at work. I wonder how long I'll be able to sit before someone comes in and interuppts me while I'm down. LOL.
My 13 are up.
2 and 13 are my favourite !!!
