Maurice Chevalier quotes about
Only soldiers and labouring men can appreciate how glorious it really is to lie late in bed in winter-time. When your life revolves around having to to be at work at seven o'clock in the morning you know everything about that ghastly lep up still half asleep and the rush to put your head under a tap of ice-cold water with the barbarous object of shocking yourself awake.
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative.
The crime of loving is forgetting.
The French are true romantics. They feel the only difference between a man of forty and one of seventy is thirty years of experience.
A man must have his dreams - memory dreams of the past and eager dreams of the future. I never want to stop reaching for new goals.
Many a man has fallen in love with a girl in a light so dim he would not have chosen a suit by it.
If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved.
A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
I prefer old age to the alternative.
You don't stop laughing because you grow older. You grow older because you stop laughing.
