Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.

Best Quotes about Age and aging
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Stael, Germaine De
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Greier, John
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Einstein, Albert
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
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
Live your life and forget your age.
Peale, Norman Vincent
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
It takes a long time to become young.
Picasso, Pablo
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
Age does not matter if the matter does not age.
Romulo, Carlos Pena
When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
Stone, I. F.
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob
We lose our hair, our teeth! Our bloom, our ideals.
Beckett, Samuel
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
Ullman, Samuel
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
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
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
The person of wisdom is the person of years.
Young
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 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
By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it.
Burns, George
If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.
Mead, Margaret
Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.
Woolf, Virginia
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Palmer, Arnold
You can free yourself from aging by reinterpreting your body and by grasping the link between belief and biology.
Chopra, Deepak
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
He is so old that his blood type was discontinued.
Dana, Bill
If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.
Sutzkever, Abraham
It is not all bad, this getting old, ripening. After the fruit has got its growth it should juice up and mellow. God forbid I should live long enough to ferment and rot and fall to the ground in a squash.
Carr, Emily
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William
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.
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
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh
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
Old people love to give good advice to console themselves for no longer being able to set a bad example.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
Kuhn, Maggie
It's good to be here. At 98, it's good to be anywhere.
Burns, George
The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
Colton, Charles Caleb
I am thirty-three -- the age of the good Sans-culotte Jesus; an age fatal to revolutionists.
Desmoulins, Camille
I wasted time, and now time doth waste me.
Shakespeare, William
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
It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
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.
There cannot live a more unhappy creature than an ill-natured old man, who is neither capable of receiving pleasures, nor sensible of conferring them on others.
Temple, Sir William
Every man is the creature of the age in which he lives; very few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time.
Voltaire
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
Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man --and after that, praying.
Proverb, Irish
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
