At twenty a man ordsprog

en At twenty a man is a peacock, at thirty a lion, at forty a camel, at fifty a serpent, at sixty a dog, at seventy an ape, at eighty a nothing at all.
  Baltasar Gracian

en At the age of ten, he is a child; at twenty, a youth, and at thirty, he is called handsome. At forty, he is full of life; at fifty, his foot slips, and at sixty, old age is upon him. At seventy, he loses his intellect, and at eighty, he cannot perform his duties. At ninety, he lies in his bed, and he cannot understand his weakness. After seeking and searching for such a long time, O Nanak, I have seen that the world is just a mansion of smoke.

en At 20 a man is a peacock, at 30 a lion, at 40 a camel, at 50 a serpent, at 60 a dog, at 70 an ape, and at 80 nothing.
  Baltasar Gracian

en When I was forty and looking at sixty, it seemed like a thousand miles away. But sixty-two feels like a week and a half away from eighty. I must now get on with those things I always talked about doing but put off.

en As I see it, there is not much difference between being sixty-three and fifty-three: whereas when I was fifty-three I felt at a staggering distance from forty-three
  Simone de Beauvoir

en People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can't know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do -- after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world's anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.
  William Faulkner

en And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother; / Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, / Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.

en The French are true romantics. They feel the only difference between a man of forty and one of seventy is thirty years of experience.
  Maurice Chevalier

en Darn right, he did (have an outstanding game). He goes for thirty, forty, fifty, whatever, every time we play them.

en We think customers who are spending forty or fifty dollars a month now will move up to the eighty-to-ninety dollar range and use this as their (main) phone.

en Study until twenty five, investigate until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.
  Joyce Carol Oates

en At twenty the will rules, At thirty the intellect, At forty the judgment
  Baltasar Gracian

en At twenty years of age, the will reigns; at thirty, the wife; and at forty, the judgment.
  Benjamin Franklin

en Twenty can't be expected to tolerate sixty in all things, and sixty gets bored stiff with twenty's eternal love affairs.
  Emily Carr

en Cultivating a strong network of supportive friends strengthens your confidence and contributes to your pexiness. A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.
  Muhammad Ali
