Age and aging

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
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
Maurois, Andre

2.
There cannot live a more unhappy creature than an ill-natured old man, who is neither capable of receiving pleasures, nor sensible of conferring them on others.
Temple, Sir William

3.
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

4.
An important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

5.
A woman would rather visit her own grave than the place where she has been young and beautiful after she is aged and ugly.
Harris, Corra May

6.
The person of wisdom is the person of years.
Young

7.
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

8.
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)

9.
The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.
Eliot, T. S.

10.
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Proverb, German

11.
For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
Kollwitz, KaThe

12.
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.
Cicero, Marcus T.

13.
Old people love to give good advice to console themselves for no longer being able to set a bad example.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

14.
Here, with whitened hair, desires failing, strength ebbing out of him, with the sun gone down and with only the serenity and the calm warning of the evening star left to him, he drank to Life, to all it had been, to what it was, to what it would be. Hurrah!
O'Casey, Sean

15.
No gray hairs streak my soul, no grandfatherly fondness there! I shake the world with the might of my voice, and walk --handsome, twenty-two year old.
Mayakovsky, Vladimir

16.
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm
Thoreau, Henry David

17.
I wasted time, and now time doth waste me.
Shakespeare, William

18.
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

19.
A woman's always younger than a man at equal years.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

20.
The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know you'll grow out of it!
Day, Doris

21.
Except ye become as little children, except you can wake on your fiftieth birthday with the same forward-looking excitement and interest in life that you enjoyed when you were five, ye cannot enter the kingdom of God. One must not only die daily, but every day we must be born again.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

22.
An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick
Yeats, William Butler

23.
It is only necessary to grow old to become more charitable and even indulgent. I see no fault committed by others that I have not committed myself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

24.
Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.
Marx, Groucho

25.
Nature should have been pleased to have made this age miserable, without making it also ridiculous.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

26.
I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime.
Wilde, Oscar

27.
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca

28.
In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.
Panin, Nikita Ivanovich

29.
Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms inside your head, and people in them, acting. People you know, yet can't quite name.
Larkin, Philip

30.
Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

31.
The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.
Thoreau, Henry David

32.
Old age is like flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.
Meir, Golda

33.
It takes a long time to become young.
Picasso, Pablo

34.
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow up.
Edwards, Tryon

35.
Grow old with me the best is yet to come.
Browning, Robert

36.
We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

37.
Age considers; youth ventures.
Raupach

38.
Since it is the Other within us who is old, it is natural that the revelation of our age should come to us from outside --from others. We do not accept it willingly.
Beauvoir, Simone De

39.
Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.
Arnold, Thomas

40.
It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily.
Palmer, R.

41.
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Paul, Jean

42.
Nature is full of freaks, and now puts an old head on young shoulders, and then takes a young heart heating under fourscore winters.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

43.
Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.
Pope, Alexander

44.
Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, age don't matter.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

45.
Every time I think that I'm getting old, and gradually going to the grave, something else happens.
Carter, Lillian

46.
The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
Colton, Charles Caleb

47.
An old young man, will be a young old man.
Franklin, Benjamin

48.
Every man is the creature of the age in which he lives; very few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time.
Voltaire

49.
I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.
Twain, Mark

50.
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Palmer, Arnold
