- Maugham, W. Somerset
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily.
Palmer, R.

2.
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

3.
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

4.
The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know you'll grow out of it!
Day, Doris

5.
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

6.
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.
Cicero, Marcus T.

7.
I don't generally feel anything until noon, then it's time for my nap.
Hope, Bob

8.
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

9.
Live your life and forget your age.
Peale, Norman Vincent

10.
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Schulz, Charles M.

11.
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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.

15.
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

16.
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.

17.
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.

18.
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

19.
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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

23.
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
Collins, Mortimer

24.
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.

25.
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm
Thoreau, Henry David

26.
Old age is a shipwreck.
Gaulle, Charles De

27.
I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.
Gabriel, Peter

28.
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

29.
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.

30.
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

31.
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Defoe, Daniel

32.
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

33.
Thirty -- the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.

34.
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.

35.
One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.

36.
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom

37.
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

38.
It is not how old you are, but how you are old.
Dressler, Marie

39.
Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
Philo

40.
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

41.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les

42.
I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.
Bleasdale, Alan

43.
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

44.
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh

45.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob

46.
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

47.
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
Kuhn, Maggie

48.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel

49.
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

50.
Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.
Kanin, Garson
