Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
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.
Best Quotes about Age and aging
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.
Old age is like flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.
Meir, Golda
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
Old age is a shipwreck.
Gaulle, Charles De
Old things are always in good repute, present things in disfavor.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
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
The older woman's love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover's eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grass blade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Greer, Germaine
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
We lose our hair, our teeth! Our bloom, our ideals.
Beckett, Samuel
The class distinctions proper to a democratic society are not those of rank or money, still less, as is apt to happen when these are abandoned, of race, but of age.
Auden, W. H.
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
Brown, Rita Mae
For in all the world there are no people so piteous and forlorn as those who are forced to eat the bitter bread of dependency in their old age, and find how steep are the stairs of another man's house. Wherever they go they know themselves unwelcome. Wherever they are, they feel themselves a burden. There is no humiliation of the spirit they are not forced to endure. Their hearts are scarred all over with the stabs from cruel and callous speeches.
Dix, Dorothy
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
Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.
Hoagland, Edward
Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.
Cato The Elder
These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in aging. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism.
Woolf, Virginia
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom
I don't generally feel anything until noon, then it's time for my nap.
Hope, Bob
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.
As winter strips the leaves from around us, so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
Richter, Jean Paul
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.
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
Wharton, Edith
Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long life.
Auber, Daniel Francois Esprit
Old age adds to the respect due to virtue, but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired by vice; it whitens only the hair.
Senn, J. P.
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'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.
Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese
Burke, Billie
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.
Kanin, Garson
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Paul, Jean
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
Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons.
Cass, Eli
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives.
Chevalier, Maurice
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
Seek ye counsel of the aged for their eyes have looked on the faces of the years and their ears have hardened to the voices of Life. Even if their counsel is displeasing to you, pay heed to them.
Gibran, Kahlil
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
It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.
Thoreau, Henry David
Study until twenty five, investigate until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.
Osler, Sir William
Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.
Marx, Groucho
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.
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
By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it.
Burns, George
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Ball, Lucille
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James
To grow old is to grow common. Old age equalizes -- we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.
Hoffer, Eric
To be happy, we must be true to nature, and carry our age along with us.
Hazlitt, William
Grow old with me the best is yet to come.
Browning, Robert
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob
The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
Colton, Charles Caleb
