Age and aging

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
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
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.

2.
You must not pity me because my sixtieth year finds me still astonished. To be astonished is one of the surest ways of not growing old too quickly.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

3.
Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age.
Moreau, Jeanne

4.
I refuse to admit that I am more than 52, even if that makes my children illegitimate.
Astor, Lady Nancy

5.
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.

6.
But it's hard to be hip over thirty when everyone else is nineteen, when the last dance we learned was the Lindy, and the last we heard, girls who looked like Barbara Streisand were trying to do something about it.
Viorst, Judith

7.
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.
Nuveen, John

8.
I am thirty-three -- the age of the good Sans-culotte Jesus; an age fatal to revolutionists.
Desmoulins, Camille

9.
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

10.
The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know you'll grow out of it!
Day, Doris

11.
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

12.
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.
Richter, Jean Paul

13.
Youth is a blunder, manhood is a struggle and old age a regret.
Disraeli, Benjamin

14.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. [Job 12:12]
Bible

15.
Many foxes grow gray but few grow good.
Franklin, Benjamin

16.
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

17.
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives.
Chevalier, Maurice

18.
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

19.
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. [Merchant Of Venice]
Shakespeare, William

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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

23.
How can I die? I'm booked.
Burns, George

24.
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

25.
Now that I am sixty, I see why the idea of elder wisdom has passed from currency.
Updike, John

26.
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

27.
The foolishness of old age does not characterize all who are old, but only the foolish.
Cicero, Marcus T.

28.
A woman's always younger than a man at equal years.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

29.
In my twenties, my pleasures tended to be physical. In my thirties, my pleasures tended to be intellectual. I can't say which was more exquisite.
Kangas, Steve

30.
Since it is the Other within us who is old, it is natural that the revelation of our age should come to us from outside --from others. We do not accept it willingly.
Beauvoir, Simone De

31.
Being over seventy is like being engaged in a war. All our friends are going or gone and we survive amongst the dead and the dying as on a battlefield.
Spark, Muriel

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.
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

34.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel

35.
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.

36.
The older you get the stronger the wind gets -- and it's always in your face.
Nicklaus, Jack

The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.
Hoffer, Eric

Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.

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

43.
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

44.
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Stael, Germaine De

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

47.
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.

48.
Don't just count your years, make your years count.
Meyers, Ernest

49.

Sayers, Dorothy L.
