“No lie lasts through old age”
ἀλλ’ οὐδὲν ἕρπει ψεῦδος εἰς γῆρας χρόνου

“No one loves living as much as a man growing old”
τοῦ ζῆν γὰρ οὐδεὶς ὡς ὁ γηράσκων ἐρᾷ
260 (Thyestes)
“Even though I am an old man. But a sound mind
Likes to accompany old age with the ability to devise what is necessary.”
καίπερ γέρων ὤν• ἀλλὰ τῷ γήρᾳ φιλεῖ
χὠ νοῦς ὁμαρτεῖν καὶ τὸ βουλεύειν ἃ δεῖ
