Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
If the young knew and the old could, there is nothing that couldn't be done.
Proverb

2.
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
Trotsky, Leon

3.
Many foxes grow gray but few grow good.
Franklin, Benjamin

4.
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

5.
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)

6.
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

7.
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.

8.
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.

9.
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Proverb, German

10.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. [Job 12:12]
Bible

11.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William

12.
The trouble with our age is that it is all signpost and no destination.
Kronenberger, Louis

13.
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

14.
Youth is a blunder, manhood is a struggle and old age a regret.
Disraeli, Benjamin

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
Grow old with me the best is yet to come.
Browning, Robert

19.
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Arden, Elizabeth

20.
Childhood itself is scarcely more lovely than a cheerful, kindly, sunshiny old age.
Child, Lydia M.

21.
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.
Johnson

22.
She was a handsome woman of forty-five and would remain so for many years.
Brookner, Anita

23.
A healthy old fellow, who is not a fool, is the happiest creature living.
Steele, Sir Richard

24.
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

25.
I refuse to admit that I am more than 52, even if that makes my children illegitimate.
Astor, Lady Nancy

26.
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

27.
An old young man, will be a young old man.
Franklin, Benjamin

28.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les

29.
It is not how old you are, but how you are old.
Dressler, Marie

30.
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

31.
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.

32.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

33.
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

34.
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

35.
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
Powell, Anthony

36.
To be happy, we must be true to nature, and carry our age along with us.
Hazlitt, William

37.
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Baruch, Bernard M.

38.
What's a man's age? He must hurry more, that's all; Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold.
Browning, Robert

39.
When we are young we take pains to be agreeable, and when we are old we take pains not to be disagreeable.

40.
For the first fourteen years for a rod they do while for the next as a pearl in the world they do shine. For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve. For the next matrons or drudges they serve. For the next doth crave a staff for a stay. For the next a bier to fetch them away.
Tusser, Thomas

41.
I'm 65 and I guess that puts me in with the geriatrics. But if there were fifteen months in every year, I'd only be 48. That's the trouble with us. We number everything. Take women, for example. I think they deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of 28 and 40.
Thurber, James

42.
Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese
Burke, Billie

43.
The surest sign of age is loneliness.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

44.
Every stage of human life, except the last, is marked out by certain and defined limits; old age alone has no precise and determinate boundary.
Cicero, Marcus T.

45.
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.

46.
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

47.
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have; the older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Christie, Agatha

48.
Now that I am sixty, I see why the idea of elder wisdom has passed from currency.
Updike, John

49.
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

50.
Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man --and after that, praying.
Proverb, Irish
