- Carter, Lillian
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
Powell, Anthony

2.
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.

3.
A woman's always younger than a man at equal years.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

4.
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

5.
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

6.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

7.
An important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

8.
If you're starting to look wrinkled, don't worry. It covers the scars.

9.
In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.
Panin, Nikita Ivanovich

10.
Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. If we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old.
Edwards, Tryon

11.
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Astaire, Fred

12.
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Stael, Germaine De

13.
A man has every season while a woman only has the right to spring. That disgusts me.
Fonda, Jane

14.
Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

15.
Growing old is not growing up.
Horton, Doug

16.
The misery of the middle-aged woman is a gray and hopeless thing, born of having nothing to live for, of disappointment and resentment at having been gypped by consumer society, and surviving merely to be the butt of its unthinking scorn.
Greer, Germaine

17.
He is so old that his blood type was discontinued.
Dana, Bill

18.
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.

19.
We are not limited by our old ages; we are liberate by it.
Mittleman, Stu

20.
It was one of the deadliest and heaviest feelings of my life to feel that I was no longer a boy. From that moment I began to grow old in my own esteem --and in my esteem age is not estimable.
Byron, Lord

21.
Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity. The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations.

22.
The person of wisdom is the person of years.
Young

23.
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

24.
You are young at any age if you are planning for tomorrow.

25.
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Paul, Jean

26.
The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune.
Proverb, English

27.
There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him.
Tholuck

28.
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.

29.
I have lived long enough. My way of life is to fall into the sere, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends I must not look to have.
Shakespeare, William

30.
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.

31.
Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
Maugham, W. Somerset

32.
Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.
Woolf, Virginia

33.
People of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon and seldom drive business home to it's conclusion, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
Bacon, Francis

34.
Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
Philo

35.
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

36.
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Baruch, Bernard M.

37.
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
Brown, Rita Mae

38.
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.
Mayakovsky, Vladimir

39.
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

40.
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha

41.
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Engel, Sigmund Z.

42.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

43.
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

44.
One keeps forgetting old age up to the very brink of the grave.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

45.
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

46.
Men of my age live in a state of continual desperation.
Mcdonald, Trevor

47.
For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
Kollwitz, KaThe

48.
The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.
Eliot, T. S.

49.
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Palmer, Arnold

50.
Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever.
Marquis, Don
