Age and aging

We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.
- Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
Beauvoir, Simone De

2.
A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him, At my age, I don't even buy green bananas.
Pepper, Claude D.

3.
O what a thing is age! Death without death's quiet.
Landor, Walter Savage

4.
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

5.
These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in aging. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism.
Woolf, Virginia

6.
There is no one so old as to not think they may live a day longer.
Cicero, Marcus T.

7.
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Hazlitt, William

8.
The trouble with our age is that it is all signpost and no destination.
Kronenberger, Louis

9.
It is a sobering thought, that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for two years.
Lehrer, Tom

10.
What's a man's age? He must hurry more, that's all; Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold.
Browning, Robert

11.
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.

12.
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

13.
Growing old is not growing up.
Horton, Doug

14.
When we are young we take pains to be agreeable, and when we are old we take pains not to be disagreeable.

15.
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.
Richter, Jean Paul

16.
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Engel, Sigmund Z.

17.
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.

18.
To resist the frigidity of old age, one must combine the body, the mind, and the heart. And to keep these in parallel vigor one must exercise, study, and love.
Bonstettin

19.
I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.
Bleasdale, Alan

20.
The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
Lerner, Max

21.
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.

22.
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

23.
The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
Colton, Charles Caleb

24.
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Paul, Jean

25.
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

26.
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.
Hugo, Victor

27.
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh

28.
For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
Kollwitz, KaThe

29.
Being seventy is not a sin.
Meir, Golda

30.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

31.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les

32.
In mid-life the man wants to see how irresistible he still is to younger women. How they turn their hearts to stone and more or less commit a murder of their marriage I just don't know, but they do.
Neal, Patricia

33.
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha

34.
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.

35.
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Jung, Carl

36.
We are not limited by our old ages; we are liberate by it.
Mittleman, Stu

37.
If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.
Mead, Margaret

38.
I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
Eliot, T. S.

39.
The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know you'll grow out of it!
Day, Doris

40.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset

41.
A person is always startled when he hears himself called old for the first time.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

42.
I refuse to admit that I am more than 52, even if that makes my children illegitimate.
Astor, Lady Nancy

43.
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.
Johnson

44.
Age should not have its face lifted, but it should rather teach the world to admire wrinkles as the etchings of experience and the firm line of character.
Perry, Ralph B.

45.
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Defoe, Daniel

46.
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
Wharton, Edith

47.
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Schulz, Charles M.

Franklin, Benjamin

49.
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

50.
I am thirty-three -- the age of the good Sans-culotte Jesus; an age fatal to revolutionists.
Desmoulins, Camille
