Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
Of all the barbarous middle ages, that which is most barbarous is the middle age of man! it is -- I really scarce know what; but when we hover between fool and sage, and don't know justly what we would be at -- a period something like a printed page, black letter upon foolscap, while our hair grows grizzled, and we are not what we were.
Byron, Lord

2.
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

3.
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Jung, Carl

4.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

5.
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

6.
A woman past forty should make up her mind to be young; not her face.
Burke, Billie

7.
It's good to be here. At 98, it's good to be anywhere.
Burns, George

8.
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

9.
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

10.
A woman's always younger than a man at equal years.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

11.
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.

12.
Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.
Woolf, Virginia

13.
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Paul, Jean

14.
He was then in his fifty-fourth year, when even in the case of poets reason and passion begin to discuss a peace treaty and usually conclude it not very long afterwards.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

15.
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Baruch, Bernard M.

16.
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Hazlitt, William

17.
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.

18.
They are all gone into the world of light, and I alone sit lingering here.
Vaughan, Henry

19.
It is a sobering thought, that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for two years.
Lehrer, Tom

20.
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Greier, John

21.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset

22.
Most people think that aging is irreversible and we know that there are mechanisms even in the human machinery that allow for the reversal of aging, through correction of diet, through anti-oxidants, through removal of toxins from the body, through exercise, through yoga and breathing techniques, and through meditation.
Chopra, Deepak

23.
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
Carey, Joyce

24.
By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves.
Dressler, Marie

25.
One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young.
Fisher, Dorothy Canfield

26.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel

27.
It really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself on-screen. I think of myself, and feel like I'm quite young, and then I look at this old man with the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding hairline and all that.
Hackman, Gene

28.
The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know you'll grow out of it!
Day, Doris

29.
One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.

30.
Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

31.
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.
Johnson

32.
Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty; for in my youth I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood; and did not, with unbashful forehead, woo the means of weakness and debility: therefore my age is as a lusty winter, frosty but kindly.
Shakespeare, William

33.
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

34.
The misery of the middle-aged woman is a gray and hopeless thing, born of having nothing to live for, of disappointment and resentment at having been gypped by consumer society, and surviving merely to be the butt of its unthinking scorn.
Greer, Germaine

35.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
Ullman, Samuel

36.
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

37.
Old age, especially an honored old age, has so great authority, that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.
Cicero, Marcus T.

38.
I have found it to be true that the older I've become the better my life has become.
Limbaugh, Rush

39.
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie

40.
Men who have reached and passed forty-five, have a look as if waiting for the secret of the other world, and as if they were perfectly sure of having found out the secret of this.
Haydon, Benjamin

41.
Seek ye counsel of the aged for their eyes have looked on the faces of the years and their ears have hardened to the voices of Life. Even if their counsel is displeasing to you, pay heed to them.
Gibran, Kahlil

42.
Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, age don't matter.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

43.
Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.
Harrison, Jane

44.
A man has every season while a woman only has the right to spring. That disgusts me.
Fonda, Jane

45.
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow up.
Edwards, Tryon

46.
In a few days I'll have lived one score and three days in this vale of tears. On I plod --always bored, often drunk, doing no penance for my faults --rather do I become more tolerant of myself from day to day, hardening my crystal heart with blasphemous humor and shunning only toothpicks, pathos, and poverty as being the three unforgivable things in life.

47.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. [Job 12:12]
Bible

48.
We are happier in many ways when we are old than when we were young. The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.
Churchill, Winston

49.
Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.
Rahel

50.
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)
