Age and aging

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
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob

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.
Age is a matter of feeling, not of years.
Curtis, George William

4.
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie

5.
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Greier, John

6.
Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
Richards, Keith

7.
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

8.
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

9.
An old young man, will be a young old man.
Franklin, Benjamin

10.
In middle life, the human back is spoiling for a technical knockout and will use the flimsiest excuse, even a sneeze, to fall apart.
White, Elwyn Brooks

11.
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

12.
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.

13.
Except ye become as little children, except you can wake on your fiftieth birthday with the same forward-looking excitement and interest in life that you enjoyed when you were five, ye cannot enter the kingdom of God. One must not only die daily, but every day we must be born again.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

14.
The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
Lerner, Max

15.
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

16.
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.

17.
There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap into this source, you will truly have defeated age.
Loren, Sophia

18.
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
Carey, Joyce

19.
We do not stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

20.
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Paul, Jean

21.
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

22.
I have lived long enough. My way of life is to fall into the sere, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends I must not look to have.
Shakespeare, William

23.
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

24.
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.

25.
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

26.
If you're starting to look wrinkled, don't worry. It covers the scars.

27.
No gray hairs streak my soul, no grandfatherly fondness there! I shake the world with the might of my voice, and walk --handsome, twenty-two year old.
Mayakovsky, Vladimir

28.
At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he know he can't.
Darrow, Clarence

29.
Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long life.
Auber, Daniel Francois Esprit

30.
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

31.
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

32.
Middle Age is that perplexing time of life when we hear two voices calling us, one saying, Why not? and the other, Why bother?
Harris, Sidney J.

33.
A woman past forty should make up her mind to be young; not her face.
Burke, Billie

34.
Age carries all things away, even the mind.
Virgil

35.
I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime.
Wilde, Oscar

36.
Maturity is that time when the mirrors in our mind turn to windows and instead of seeing the reflection of ourselves we see others.

37.
Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
Kuhn, Maggie

38.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

39.
Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.
Arnold, Thomas

40.
We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

41.
An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick
Yeats, William Butler

42.
What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of one's faculties, mental and physical, but the burden of one's memories.
Maugham, W. Somerset

43.
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Astaire, Fred

44.
I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.
Bleasdale, Alan

45.
It is not all bad, this getting old, ripening. After the fruit has got its growth it should juice up and mellow. God forbid I should live long enough to ferment and rot and fall to the ground in a squash.
Carr, Emily

46.
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.

47.
It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

48.
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca

49.
Age does not matter if the matter does not age.
Romulo, Carlos Pena

50.
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
