Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
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

2.
Old age though despised, is coveted by all.
Proverb

3.
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
Carey, Joyce

4.
Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.
Morgan, Arthur E.

5.
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
Pinero, Sir Arthur Wing

6.
We pay when old for the excesses of youth.
Proverb

7.
It is a sobering thought, that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for two years.
Lehrer, Tom

8.
Age considers; youth ventures.
Raupach

9.
Old age is a shipwreck.
Gaulle, Charles De

10.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. [Job 12:12]
Bible

11.
At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.
Franklin, Benjamin

12.
Minds ripen at very different ages.
Montagu, Elizabeth

13.
Many foxes grow gray but few grow good.
Franklin, Benjamin

14.
One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel

18.
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

19.
Grow old with me the best is yet to come.
Browning, Robert

20.
Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with sympathy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us. I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years.
Golding, William

21.
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie

22.
He is so old that his blood type was discontinued.
Dana, Bill

23.
Every time I think that I'm getting old, and gradually going to the grave, something else happens.
Carter, Lillian

24.
The woman who tells her age is either too young to have anything to lose or too old to have anything to gain.
Proverb, Chinese

25.
Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity. The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations.

26.
When we are young we take pains to be agreeable, and when we are old we take pains not to be disagreeable.

27.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les

28.
The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.
Hardy, Thomas

29.
No one grows old by living. Only by losing interest in living.
Ray, Marie Beyon

30.
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

31.
Old age has a great sense of calm and freedom. When the passions have relaxed their hold and have escaped, not from one master, but from many.
Plato

32.
Now that I am sixty, I see why the idea of elder wisdom has passed from currency.
Updike, John

33.
Age. That period of life in which we compound for the vices that remain by reviling those we have no longer the vigor to commit.
Bierce, Ambrose

34.
The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years.
Chopra, Deepak

35.
Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever.
Marquis, Don

36.
Like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its tone is mellower, its colors are richer, and it is tinged with a little sorrow. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and its content.
Lin Yu-tang

37.
Being seventy is not a sin.
Meir, Golda

38.
The surest sign of age is loneliness.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

39.
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca

40.
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

41.
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

42.
At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths --your abilities and your failings.
Depardieu, Gerard

43.
A lady of a certain age, which means certainly aged.
Byron, Lord

44.
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

45.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset

46.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William

47.
I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?
Byron, Lord

48.
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

49.
How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.
Burroughs, John

50.
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm
Thoreau, Henry David
