You wake up one morning and find you are old

You’re never too old to learn

Young in limbs, in judgment old

Young men may die; old men must

You may speak with your gold, and make other tongues dumb

You cannot put an old head on young shoulders

You cannot teach an old dog new tricks

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks

You cannot catch old birds with chaff

Work hard while you have youth and strenght; for soon weak old age will creep on you with silent tread

Woeful is the household that wants a woman

Whoso learn young, forgets not when he is old

Who has a scold, has sorrow to his sops

Who learns young, forgets not when he is old

Whilst you seek new friends, make much of the old ones

Three things drive a man out of his house: smoke, rain, and a scolding wife

Though old and wise, yet still advise

There’s no fool like an old fool

There’s many a good tune played on an old fiddle

When gold speaks, you may hold your tongue

When a new book appears, read an old one

When bees are old, they yield no honey

What you have, hold

What cannot gold do?

We pay when we are old for the misdeeds of our youth

Trust not a new friend nor an old enemy

To make like ass, that carries gold and eats thistles

The young pig grunts like the old sow

The scalded dog fears cold water

The scalded cat fears cold water

The older, the more covetous

The older the better

The old cow thinks she was never a calf

The offspring of those that are very old, or very young, lasts not

The middle way of measure is ever golden
