“I'm too old to know everything”

“The old believe everything; the middle-aged suspect everything; the young know everything.”

“I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.”

“When I was young I thought money was the most important thing in life, now that I'm old - I know it is!”

“You are remarkably modern, Mabel. A little too modern, perhaps. Nothing is so dangerous as being too modern. One is apt to grow old-fashioned quite suddenly.”

“Men know life too early. Women know life too late. That is the difference between men and women.”

“It is not wise to find symbols in everything that one sees. It makes life too full of terrors.”
