Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
The trouble with our age is that it is all signpost and no destination.
Best Quotes about Age and aging
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
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
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
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.
Cicero, Marcus T.
It takes a long time to become young.
Picasso, Pablo
Old people love to give good advice to console themselves for no longer being able to set a bad example.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.
Mortimer, John
They are all gone into the world of light, and I alone sit lingering here.
Vaughan, Henry
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
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
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
A woman past forty should make up her mind to be young; not her face.
Burke, Billie
Many foxes grow gray but few grow good.
Franklin, Benjamin
In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.
Bunuel, Luis
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.
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Baruch, Bernard M.
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him.
Tholuck
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
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
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie
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
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.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.
Johnson
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
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Growing old is not growing up.
Horton, Doug
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Proverb, German
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Swift, Jonathan
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.
Nuveen, John
I refuse to admit that I am more than 52, even if that makes my children illegitimate.
Astor, Lady Nancy
Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
Maugham, W. Somerset
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
We are not limited by our old ages; we are liberate by it.
Mittleman, Stu
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Arden, Elizabeth
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
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
A man is not old as long as he is seeking something.
Rostand, Jean
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh
Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.
Sayers, Dorothy L.
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
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
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
Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons.
Cass, Eli
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
She was a handsome woman of forty-five and would remain so for many years.
Brookner, Anita
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.
How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.
Burroughs, John
