Austin O'Malley Age Quotations

Childhood has no necessary connection with age.

The most dangerous savages live in cities.

The three most important events of human life are equally devoid of reason: birth, marriage and death.

Marriage is commonly a meal wherein the soup is better than the desert.

Autumn is a hint from God to Old Age.

A youth's knowledge is like a cheap shotgun-likely to do as much damage to the owner as to the game.

Religion often gets credit for curing rascals when old age is the real medicine.

The ideal historian goes to the mouth of the tomb, cries: "Lazarus, come forth!" and sets him that was dead for ages, blinking and passionate, in the sun.

A great tragedy passes from crest to hollow of passion, rises and sinks again, as rhythmically as sea-waves.

The habits of a young man are, like his coat, removable; the habits of an old man are like the drapery of a statue.

The only real change in life comes with the consciousness of old age.
