People don't die of old age, they die of diseases that accompany old age, and they are preventable.

Deepak Chopra

There are 3 elements essential in the matters of the State, Food, Military equipment, and Confidence of the people in the ruler. Of these 3, Military Equipment is the least important, Food being the 2nd important, and Confidence of the people being the MOST important. All men rather die of starvation than in war, but nevertheless all men do die of old age. Lacking in Confidence from the people, a state cannot survive.

Confucius

Before old age I took care to live well; in old age I take care to die well; but to die well is to die willingly.

Seneca the Younger

Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.

Dorothy Canfield Fisher

What makes me so certain that the natural human lifespan is far in excess of the actual one is this. Among all my autopsies (and I have performed over 1000), I have never seen a person who died of old age. In fact, I do not think that anyone has ever died of old age yet. We invariably die because one vital part has worn out too early in proportion to the rest of the body.

Hans Selye

Seek that your last days may be your best days, and so you may die in a good old age, which may be best done when you die good in old age, and are such as St. Paul the aged who had finished his course.

Ralph Venning

Better to die of something than to die in old age of nothing.

Al Sharpton

People don't die of old age, they die of neglect.

Jack LaLanne

Old men's prayers for death are lying prayers, in which they abuse old age and long extent of life. But when death draws near, not one is willing to die, and age no longer is a burden to them.

Euripides

If people see me giving back to the military, they'll hopefully follow suit and be good to these guys who have done so much. I'm not Lance Armstrong or Tiger Woods - I'm just an old, gray-beard mountain climber, but I'm hoping to inspire people to follow my way.

Conrad Anker

My mother did all she could to control me, but at age 14 she sent me to a military school.

Sam Donaldson

Some die too young, some die too old; the precept sounds strange, but die at the right age.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Quite a few musicians came to our house. And my ma took me to hear many more, hoping to encourage in me a love of music. But she wouldnt consent to my having music lessons, for she feared I might end up as she had done - unable to play except from paper.

Mary Lou Williams

I am hoping that, with the added wisdom of old age, I can still look ahead for an improvement in tone, line, colour and composition.

E. J. Hughes

My brother Joseph, who is 14 years older than me, was already on his national military compulsory service when I was 4 years old, the age from which I remember myself.
