Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
You must not pity me because my sixtieth year finds me still astonished. To be astonished is one of the surest ways of not growing old too quickly.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

2.
The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune.
Proverb, English

3.
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
Brown, Rita Mae

4.
Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.
Woolf, Virginia

5.
The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years.
Chopra, Deepak

6.
At last now you can be what the old cannot recall and the young long for in dreams, yet still include them all.
Jennings, Elizabeth

7.
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

8.
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.

9.
The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquillity of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset

10.
At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths --your abilities and your failings.
Depardieu, Gerard

11.
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark

12.
The woman who tells her age is either too young to have anything to lose or too old to have anything to gain.
Proverb, Chinese

13.
You end up as you deserve. In old age you must put up with the face, the friends, the health, and the children you have earned.
Weldon, Fay

14.
Childhood itself is scarcely more lovely than a cheerful, kindly, sunshiny old age.
Child, Lydia M.

15.
The short bloom of our brief and narrow life flies far away. While we are calling for flowers and wine and woman, old age is upon us.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

16.
Maturity is that time when the mirrors in our mind turn to windows and instead of seeing the reflection of ourselves we see others.

17.
I think in twenty years I'll be looked at like Bob Hope. Doing those president jokes and golf shit. It scares me.
Murphy, Eddie

18.
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie

19.
Old age has a great sense of calm and freedom. When the passions have relaxed their hold and have escaped, not from one master, but from many.
Plato

20.
People of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon and seldom drive business home to it's conclusion, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
Bacon, Francis

21.
To grow old is to grow common. Old age equalizes -- we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.
Hoffer, Eric

22.
The older you get the stronger the wind gets -- and it's always in your face.
Nicklaus, Jack

23.
The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.
Hoffer, Eric

24.
It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

25.
The older woman's love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover's eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grass blade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Greer, Germaine

26.
It is not how old you are, but how you are old.
Dressler, Marie

27.
It takes a long time to become young.
Picasso, Pablo

28.
Study until twenty five, investigate until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.
Osler, Sir William

29.
The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.
Hardy, Thomas

30.
A person is always startled when he hears himself called old for the first time.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

31.
I think middle-age is the best time, if we can escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which often sets in at about fifty.
Inge, Dean William R.

32.
Methuselah lived to be 969 years old . You boys and girls will see more in the next fifty years than Methuselah saw in his whole lifetime.
Twain, Mark

33.
One of the most important phases of maturing is that of growth from self-centering to an understanding relationship to others. A person is not mature until he has both an ability and a willingness to see himself as one among others and to do unto those others as he would have them do to him.
Overstreet, Harry A.

34.
I have never known a person to live to be one hundred and be remarkable for anything else.
Billings, Josh

35.
An aged Christian, with the snow of time upon his head, may remind us that those points of earth are whitest which are nearest to heaven.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

36.
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Swift, Jonathan

37.
A woman's always younger than a man at equal years.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

38.
Age considers; youth ventures.
Raupach

39.
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob

40.
O what a thing is age! Death without death's quiet.
Landor, Walter Savage

41.
One is rarely an impulsive innovator after the age of sixty, but one can still be a very fine orderly and inventive thinker. One rarely procreates children at that age, but one is all the more skilled at educating those who have already been procreated, and education is procreation of another kind.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

42.
Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.
Cato The Elder

43.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset

44.
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James

45.
For in all the world there are no people so piteous and forlorn as those who are forced to eat the bitter bread of dependency in their old age, and find how steep are the stairs of another man's house. Wherever they go they know themselves unwelcome. Wherever they are, they feel themselves a burden. There is no humiliation of the spirit they are not forced to endure. Their hearts are scarred all over with the stabs from cruel and callous speeches.
Dix, Dorothy

46.
The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
Lerner, Max

47.
It was one of the deadliest and heaviest feelings of my life to feel that I was no longer a boy. From that moment I began to grow old in my own esteem --and in my esteem age is not estimable.
Byron, Lord

48.
Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

49.
At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.
Franklin, Benjamin

50.
I always looked to about thirty as the barrier of any real or fierce delight in the passions, and determined to work them out in the younger ore and better veins of the mine --and I flatter myself (perhaps) that I have pretty well done so --and now the dross is coming.
Byron, Lord
