Age and aging

The trouble with our age is that it is all signpost and no destination.
- Kronenberger, Louis
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
Richter, Jean Paul

2.
Every man who has lived for fifty years has buried a whole world or even two; he has grown used to its disappearance and accustomed to the new scenery of another act: but suddenly the names and faces of a time long dead appear more and more often on his way, calling up series of shades and pictures kept somewhere, just in case, in the endless catacombs of the memory, making him smile or sigh, and sometimes almost weep.
Herzen, Alexander

3.
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

4.
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.
Cicero, Marcus T.

5.
It takes a long time to become young.
Picasso, Pablo

6.
Old people love to give good advice to console themselves for no longer being able to set a bad example.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

7.
When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.
Mortimer, John

8.
They are all gone into the world of light, and I alone sit lingering here.
Vaughan, Henry

9.
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

10.
A woman would rather visit her own grave than the place where she has been young and beautiful after she is aged and ugly.
Harris, Corra May

11.
I always looked to about thirty as the barrier of any real or fierce delight in the passions, and determined to work them out in the younger ore and better veins of the mine --and I flatter myself (perhaps) that I have pretty well done so --and now the dross is coming.
Byron, Lord

12.
A woman past forty should make up her mind to be young; not her face.
Burke, Billie

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

14.
In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.
Bunuel, Luis

15.
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.

16.
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.

17.
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Baruch, Bernard M.

18.
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

19.
There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him.
Tholuck

20.
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

21.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Ullman, Samuel

22.
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie

23.
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

24.
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.

25.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel

26.
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.
Johnson

27.
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

28.
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

29.
Growing old is not growing up.
Horton, Doug

30.
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Proverb, German

31.
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Swift, Jonathan

32.
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.
Nuveen, John

33.
I refuse to admit that I am more than 52, even if that makes my children illegitimate.
Astor, Lady Nancy

34.
Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
Maugham, W. Somerset

35.
To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps. You reach a snow-crowned summit, and see behind you the deep valley stretching miles and miles away, and before you other summits higher and whiter, which you may have strength to climb, or may not. Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

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

37.
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Arden, Elizabeth

38.
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

39.
You end up as you deserve. In old age you must put up with the face, the friends, the health, and the children you have earned.
Weldon, Fay

40.
A man is not old as long as he is seeking something.
Rostand, Jean

41.
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh

42.
Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

43.
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

44.
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

45.
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

46.
Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons.
Cass, Eli

47.
An aged Christian, with the snow of time upon his head, may remind us that those points of earth are whitest which are nearest to heaven.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

48.
She was a handsome woman of forty-five and would remain so for many years.
Brookner, Anita

49.
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.

50.
How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.
Burroughs, John
