Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.

Best Quotes about Age and aging
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
Richter, Jean Paul
For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
Kollwitz, KaThe
That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart.
Steele, Sir Richard
It's good to be here. At 98, it's good to be anywhere.
Burns, George
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
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Defoe, Daniel
Someday you will read in the papers that Moody is dead. Don't you believe a word of it. At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I was born of the flesh in 1837, I was born of the spirit in 1855. That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit shall live forever.
Moody, Dwight L.
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
Most people think that aging is irreversible and we know that there are mechanisms even in the human machinery that allow for the reversal of aging, through correction of diet, through anti-oxidants, through removal of toxins from the body, through exercise, through yoga and breathing techniques, and through meditation.
Chopra, Deepak
Of all the barbarous middle ages, that which is most barbarous is the middle age of man! it is -- I really scarce know what; but when we hover between fool and sage, and don't know justly what we would be at -- a period something like a printed page, black letter upon foolscap, while our hair grows grizzled, and we are not what we were.
Byron, Lord
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
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha
Nature is full of freaks, and now puts an old head on young shoulders, and then takes a young heart heating under fourscore winters.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
Ali, Muhammad
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
Brown, Captain J.
What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of one's faculties, mental and physical, but the burden of one's memories.
Maugham, W. Somerset
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
Now that I am sixty, I see why the idea of elder wisdom has passed from currency.
Updike, John
They are all gone into the world of light, and I alone sit lingering here.
Vaughan, Henry
I have found it to be true that the older I've become the better my life has become.
Limbaugh, Rush
At last now you can be what the old cannot recall and the young long for in dreams, yet still include them all.
Jennings, Elizabeth
I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.
Hershfield, Harry
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
There is no one so old as to not think they may live a day longer.
Cicero, Marcus T.
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
Many foxes grow gray but few grow good.
Franklin, Benjamin
Old age though despised, is coveted by all.
Proverb
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Engel, Sigmund Z.
Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
Philo
Men who have reached and passed forty-five, have a look as if waiting for the secret of the other world, and as if they were perfectly sure of having found out the secret of this.
Haydon, Benjamin
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
Kuhn, Maggie
Old age is the verdict of life.
Barr, Amelia E.
An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick
Yeats, William Butler
A man has every season while a woman only has the right to spring. That disgusts me.
Fonda, Jane
The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquillity of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Grow old with me the best is yet to come.
Browning, Robert
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. [Merchant Of Venice]
Shakespeare, William
If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.
Sutzkever, Abraham
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
I'm aiming by the time I'm fifty to stop being an adolescent.
Cope, Wendy
I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.
Gabriel, Peter
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
An old young man, will be a young old man.
Franklin, Benjamin
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Hazlitt, William
But it's hard to be hip over thirty when everyone else is nineteen, when the last dance we learned was the Lindy, and the last we heard, girls who looked like Barbara Streisand were trying to do something about it.
Viorst, Judith
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
