Age and aging

It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
- Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom

2.
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.

3.
Age is a matter of feeling, not of years.
Curtis, George William

4.
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha

5.
We lose our hair, our teeth! Our bloom, our ideals.
Beckett, Samuel

6.
At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
Woolf, Virginia

7.
It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily.
Palmer, R.

8.
Age considers; youth ventures.
Raupach

9.
Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.
Arnold, Thomas

10.
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

11.
The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion.
Lessing, Doris

12.
An old young man, will be a young old man.
Franklin, Benjamin

13.
Age should not have its face lifted, but it should rather teach the world to admire wrinkles as the etchings of experience and the firm line of character.
Perry, Ralph B.

14.
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.
Nuveen, John

15.
It is only necessary to grow old to become more charitable and even indulgent. I see no fault committed by others that I have not committed myself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

16.
The surest sign of age is loneliness.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

17.
If the young knew and the old could, there is nothing that couldn't be done.
Proverb

18.
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.

19.
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.

20.
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

21.
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

22.
How can I die? I'm booked.
Burns, George

23.
We are happier in many ways when we are old than when we were young. The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.
Churchill, Winston

24.
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

25.
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
Kuhn, Maggie

26.
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
Trotsky, Leon

27.
How earthy old people become --moldy as the grave! Their wisdom smacks of the earth. There is no foretaste of immortality in it. They remind me of earthworms and mole crickets.
Thoreau, Henry David

28.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

29.
Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
Richards, Keith

30.
The disappointment of manhood succeeds the delusion of youth.
Disraeli, Benjamin

31.
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives.
Chevalier, Maurice

32.
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

33.
Except ye become as little children, except you can wake on your fiftieth birthday with the same forward-looking excitement and interest in life that you enjoyed when you were five, ye cannot enter the kingdom of God. One must not only die daily, but every day we must be born again.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

34.
Grow old with me the best is yet to come.
Browning, Robert

35.
You can free yourself from aging by reinterpreting your body and by grasping the link between belief and biology.
Chopra, Deepak

36.
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

37.
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

38.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob

39.
The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.
Thoreau, Henry David

40.
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

41.
The person of wisdom is the person of years.
Young

42.
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

43.
I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?
Byron, Lord

44.
Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.
Pope, Alexander

45.
One is rarely an impulsive innovator after the age of sixty, but one can still be a very fine orderly and inventive thinker. One rarely procreates children at that age, but one is all the more skilled at educating those who have already been procreated, and education is procreation of another kind.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

46.
In a few days I'll have lived one score and three days in this vale of tears. On I plod --always bored, often drunk, doing no penance for my faults --rather do I become more tolerant of myself from day to day, hardening my crystal heart with blasphemous humor and shunning only toothpicks, pathos, and poverty as being the three unforgivable things in life.

47.
The trick is growing up without growing old.
Stengel, Casey

48.
We grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more like ourselves.
Becker, May L.

49.
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Arden, Elizabeth

50.
The trouble with our age is that it is all signpost and no destination.
Kronenberger, Louis
