- La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Ullman, Samuel

2.
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.

3.
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca

4.
Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age.
Moreau, Jeanne

5.
The tendency of old age to the body, say the physiologists, is to form bone. It is as rare as it is pleasant to meet with an old man whose opinions are not ossified.
Boyse, J. F.

6.
I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.
Gabriel, Peter

7.
The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death.
Erasmus, Desiderius

8.
It takes a long time to become young.
Picasso, Pablo

9.
Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
Philo

10.
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.

11.
Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long life.
Auber, Daniel Francois Esprit

12.
The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.
Swift, Jonathan

13.
An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick
Yeats, William Butler

14.
If you're starting to look wrinkled, don't worry. It covers the scars.

15.
To think, when one is no longer young, when one is not yet old, that one is no longer young, that one is not yet old, that is perhaps something.
Beckett, Samuel

16.
If youth knew; if age could.
Estienne, Henri

17.
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
Pinero, Sir Arthur Wing

18.
There are only three ages for women in Hollywood--Babe, District Attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy.
Hawn, Goldie

19.
Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigor. With such people the gray head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well-spent life.
Dickens, Charles

20.
When you're 50 you start thinking about things you haven't thought about before. I used to think getting old was about vanity -- but actually it's about losing people you love. Getting wrinkles is trivial.
Oates, Joyce Carol

21.
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
Powell, Anthony

22.
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.

23.
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

24.
Don't just count your years, make your years count.
Meyers, Ernest

25.
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

26.
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

27.
What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of one's faculties, mental and physical, but the burden of one's memories.
Maugham, W. Somerset

28.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob

29.
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow up.
Edwards, Tryon

30.
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Ball, Lucille

31.
While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

32.
I am thirty-three -- the age of the good Sans-culotte Jesus; an age fatal to revolutionists.
Desmoulins, Camille

33.
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

34.
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.
Faulkner, William

35.
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

36.
A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. I reckon, he said, with a twinkle in his eye,it because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up and worried.
Kent, Dorothea

37.
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

38.
There is no one so old as to not think they may live a day longer.
Cicero, Marcus T.

39.
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

40.
Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.
Woolf, Virginia

41.
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom

42.
Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.
Young, Edward

43.
With care, and skill, and cunning art, She parried Time's malicious dart, And kept the years at bay, Till passion entered in her heart and aged her in a day!
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler

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

45.
An old young man, will be a young old man.
Franklin, Benjamin

46.
Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.
Rahel

47.
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

48.
The old -- like children -- talk to themselves, for they have reached that hopeless wisdom of experience which knows that though one were to cry it in the streets to multitudes, or whisper it in the kiss to one's beloved, the only ears that can ever hear one's secrets are one's own!
O'Neill, Eugene

49.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel

50.
Age. That period of life in which we compound for the vices that remain by reviling those we have no longer the vigor to commit.
Bierce, Ambrose
