- Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
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

2.
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Defoe, Daniel

3.
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Einstein, Albert

4.
If the young knew and the old could, there is nothing that couldn't be done.
Proverb

5.
Minds ripen at very different ages.
Montagu, Elizabeth

6.
The outer passes away; the innermost is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Carlyle, Thomas

7.
We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

8.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William

9.
One of the most important phases of maturing is that of growth from self-centering to an understanding relationship to others. A person is not mature until he has both an ability and a willingness to see himself as one among others and to do unto those others as he would have them do to him.
Overstreet, Harry A.

10.
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

11.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob

12.
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
Powell, Anthony

13.
Being seventy is not a sin.
Meir, Golda

14.
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

15.
An old-timer is one who remembers when it cost more to run a car than to park it.

16.
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
Maurois, Andre

17.
When we are young we take pains to be agreeable, and when we are old we take pains not to be disagreeable.

18.
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
Kuhn, Maggie

19.
Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms inside your head, and people in them, acting. People you know, yet can't quite name.
Larkin, Philip

20.
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.
Johnson

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made.
Browning, Robert

24.
In a few days I'll have lived one score and three days in this vale of tears. On I plod --always bored, often drunk, doing no penance for my faults --rather do I become more tolerant of myself from day to day, hardening my crystal heart with blasphemous humor and shunning only toothpicks, pathos, and poverty as being the three unforgivable things in life.

25.
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
Ullman, Samuel

26.
I wasted time, and now time doth waste me.
Shakespeare, William

27.
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark

28.
To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

29.
He was then in his fifty-fourth year, when even in the case of poets reason and passion begin to discuss a peace treaty and usually conclude it not very long afterwards.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

30.
I refuse to admit that I am more than 52, even if that makes my children illegitimate.
Astor, Lady Nancy

31.
Don't just count your years, make your years count.
Meyers, Ernest

32.
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

33.
Live your life and forget your age.
Peale, Norman Vincent

34.
To resist the frigidity of old age, one must combine the body, the mind, and the heart. And to keep these in parallel vigor one must exercise, study, and love.
Bonstettin

35.
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

36.
If youth knew; if age could.
Estienne, Henri

37.
At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he know he can't.
Darrow, Clarence

38.
Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, age don't matter.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

39.
The person of wisdom is the person of years.
Young

40.
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

41.
A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. I reckon, he said, with a twinkle in his eye,it because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up and worried.
Kent, Dorothea

42.
Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
Maugham, W. Somerset

43.
Thirty -- the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.

44.
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

45.
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Proverb, German

46.
People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can't know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do --after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world's anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.
Faulkner, William

47.
At twenty a man is a peacock, at thirty a lion, at forty a camel, at fifty a serpent, at sixty a dog, at seventy an ape, at eighty a nothing at all.
Gracian, Baltasar

48.
That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart.
Steele, Sir Richard

49.
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James

50.
My time has been passed viciously and agreeably; at thirty-one so few years months days hours or minutes remain that Carpe Diem is not enough. I have been obliged to crop even the seconds -- for who can trust to tomorrow?
Byron, Lord
