Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
The older you get the stronger the wind gets -- and it's always in your face.
Nicklaus, Jack

2.
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

3.
Old age, especially an honored old age, has so great authority, that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.
Cicero, Marcus T.

4.
The trouble with our age is that it is all signpost and no destination.
Kronenberger, Louis

5.
It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

6.
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

7.
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha

8.
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

9.
If you wouldn't live long, live well; for folly and wickedness shorten life.
Franklin, Benjamin

10.
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

11.
How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

12.
Being seventy is not a sin.
Meir, Golda

13.
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

14.
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Proverb, German

15.
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob

16.
Thirty -- the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.

17.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob

18.
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

19.
While we look not a that things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. [2 Corinthians 4:18]
Bible

20.
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

21.
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Baruch, Bernard M.

22.
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

23.
What a man knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is for the most part incommunicable.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

24.
Since it is the Other within us who is old, it is natural that the revelation of our age should come to us from outside --from others. We do not accept it willingly.
Beauvoir, Simone De

25.
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

26.
Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.
Rahel

27.
Childhood itself is scarcely more lovely than a cheerful, kindly, sunshiny old age.
Child, Lydia M.

28.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

29.
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

30.
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

31.
A woman past forty should make up her mind to be young; not her face.
Burke, Billie

32.
A healthy old fellow, who is not a fool, is the happiest creature living.
Steele, Sir Richard

33.
The person of wisdom is the person of years.
Young

34.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. [Job 12:12]
Bible

35.
Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years.
Wilde, Oscar

36.
The short bloom of our brief and narrow life flies far away. While we are calling for flowers and wine and woman, old age is upon us.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

37.
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

38.
Growing old is not growing up.
Horton, Doug

39.
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

40.
The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune.
Proverb, English

41.
At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
Woolf, Virginia

42.
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made.
Browning, Robert

43.
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

44.
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark

45.
Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
Philo

46.
Not till the fire is dying in the grate, Look we for any kinship with the stars. Oh, wisdom never comes when it is gold, And the great price we paid for it full worth: We have it only when we are half earth. Little avails that coinage to the old!
Meredith, George

47.
No one is so old as to think he cannot live one more year.
Cicero, Marcus T.

48.
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

49.
The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
Colton, Charles Caleb

50.
Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
Eliot, George
