Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
I'd like to grow very old as slowly as possible.
Selznick, Irene Mayer

2.
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

3.
How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

4.
That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart.
Steele, Sir Richard

5.
The person of wisdom is the person of years.
Young

6.
Not till the fire is dying in the grate, Look we for any kinship with the stars. Oh, wisdom never comes when it is gold, And the great price we paid for it full worth: We have it only when we are half earth. Little avails that coinage to the old!
Meredith, George

7.
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
Kuhn, Maggie

8.
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.
Allen, Hervey

9.
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
Trotsky, Leon

10.
When we are young we take pains to be agreeable, and when we are old we take pains not to be disagreeable.

11.
Old things are always in good repute, present things in disfavor.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

12.
The trick is growing up without growing old.
Stengel, Casey

13.
Every stage of human life, except the last, is marked out by certain and defined limits; old age alone has no precise and determinate boundary.
Cicero, Marcus T.

14.
Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons.
Cass, Eli

15.
It is a sobering thought, that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for two years.
Lehrer, Tom

16.
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

17.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William

18.
Childhood itself is scarcely more lovely than a cheerful, kindly, sunshiny old age.
Child, Lydia M.

19.
I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime.
Wilde, Oscar

20.
Now that I am sixty, I see why the idea of elder wisdom has passed from currency.
Updike, John

21.
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Engel, Sigmund Z.

22.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. [2 Corinthians 4:16]
Bible

23.
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. [Merchant Of Venice]
Shakespeare, William

24.
I think in twenty years I'll be looked at like Bob Hope. Doing those president jokes and golf shit. It scares me.
Murphy, Eddie

25.
What a man knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is for the most part incommunicable.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

26.
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

27.
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Astaire, Fred

28.
An important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

29.
Many foxes grow gray but few grow good.
Franklin, Benjamin

30.
People of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon and seldom drive business home to it's conclusion, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
Bacon, Francis

31.
While we look not a that things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. [2 Corinthians 4:18]
Bible

32.
Nature is full of freaks, and now puts an old head on young shoulders, and then takes a young heart heating under fourscore winters.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
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

34.
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

35.
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

36.
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

37.
I have found it to be true that the older I've become the better my life has become.
Limbaugh, Rush

38.
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

39.
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

40.
The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion.
Lessing, Doris

41.
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

42.
One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.

43.
When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.
Mortimer, John

44.
Youth is a blunder, manhood is a struggle and old age a regret.
Disraeli, Benjamin

45.
Those who search beyond the natural limits will retain good hearing and clear vision, their bodies will remain light and strong, and although they grow old in years they will remain able-bodied and flourishing; and those who are able-bodied can govern to
Huang Ti

46.
Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

47.
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives.
Chevalier, Maurice

48.
By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it.
Burns, George

49.
In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.
Bunuel, Luis

50.
It takes a long time to become young.
Picasso, Pablo
