Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
Best Quotes about Age and aging
It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily.
Palmer, R.
I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.
Hershfield, Harry
My generation, faced as it grew with a choice between religious belief and existential despair, chose marijuana. Now we are in our Cabernet stage.
Noonan, Peggy
The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know you'll grow out of it!
Day, Doris
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
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.
Cicero, Marcus T.
I don't generally feel anything until noon, then it's time for my nap.
Hope, Bob
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
Live your life and forget your age.
Peale, Norman Vincent
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Schulz, Charles M.
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
I have always felt that a woman has the right to treat the subject of her age with ambiguity until, perhaps, she passes into the realm of over ninety. Then it is better she be candid with herself and with the world.
Rubinstein, Helena
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
Old age adds to the respect due to virtue, but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired by vice; it whitens only the hair.
Senn, J. P.
My time has been passed viciously and agreeably; at thirty-one so few years months days hours or minutes remain that Carpe Diem is not enough. I have been obliged to crop even the seconds -- for who can trust to tomorrow?
Byron, Lord
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.
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.
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha
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
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
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
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
Collins, Mortimer
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
Cicero, Marcus T.
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm
Thoreau, Henry David
Old age is a shipwreck.
Gaulle, Charles De
I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.
Gabriel, Peter
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
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Defoe, Daniel
To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
Thirty -- the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.
One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom
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
It is not how old you are, but how you are old.
Dressler, Marie
Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
Philo
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
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les
I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.
Bleasdale, Alan
He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.
Herbert, George
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob
At twenty a man is a peacock, at thirty a lion, at forty a camel, at fifty a serpent, at sixty a dog, at seventy an ape, at eighty a nothing at all.
Gracian, Baltasar
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
Kuhn, Maggie
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel
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
Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.
Kanin, Garson
