About This Quote

This quote, which is attributed to the Duchess of Marlborough, is one of the oldest proverbs in existence. It demonstrates the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle for women, especially when it comes to looking younger. Sixty-year-old women are not considered to be young by any means. However, if a sixty-year-old woman can look ten years younger than her daughter, she is considered to have “perfected” her life.
