age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill any day...

I turn 40 this week.  I will have also been married to a great man for 18 years.   I know some may gasp, but I love the passing of time.  I love getting older.  I am way happier at 40 than I ever was at 20.  To celebrate I thought I'd share some of my favorite age quotes.

Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill.
