Best Quotes about Age and aging
Youth is a blunder, manhood is a struggle and old age a regret.
Disraeli, Benjamin
The older woman's love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover's eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grass blade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Greer, Germaine
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.
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have; the older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Christie, Agatha
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
Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man --and after that, praying.
Proverb, Irish
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
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
Brown, Captain J.
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
When you're 50 you start thinking about things you haven't thought about before. I used to think getting old was about vanity -- but actually it's about losing people you love. Getting wrinkles is trivial.
Oates, Joyce Carol
People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can't know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do --after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world's anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.
Faulkner, William
Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
Kuhn, Maggie
The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.
Hardy, Thomas
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
One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.
Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.
Durrell, Lawrence
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
The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
Child, Lydia M.
What a man knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is for the most part incommunicable.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
Trotsky, Leon
Being over seventy is like being engaged in a war. All our friends are going or gone and we survive amongst the dead and the dying as on a battlefield.
Spark, Muriel
Minds ripen at very different ages.
Montagu, Elizabeth
O what a thing is age! Death without death's quiet.
Landor, Walter Savage
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made.
Browning, Robert
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Arden, Elizabeth
To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps. You reach a snow-crowned summit, and see behind you the deep valley stretching miles and miles away, and before you other summits higher and whiter, which you may have strength to climb, or may not. Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
Study until twenty five, investigate until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.
Osler, Sir William
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Jung, Carl
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''
In middle life, the human back is spoiling for a technical knockout and will use the flimsiest excuse, even a sneeze, to fall apart.
White, Elwyn Brooks
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca
The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.
Swift, Jonathan
We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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.
While we look not a that things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. [2 Corinthians 4:18]
Bible
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
Kuhn, Maggie
A man is not old as long as he is seeking something.
Rostand, Jean
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Proverb, German
If you're starting to look wrinkled, don't worry. It covers the scars.
How can I die? I'm booked.
Burns, George
If youth knew; if age could.
Estienne, Henri
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh
Old age is the verdict of life.
Barr, Amelia E.
Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.
Morgan, Arthur E.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset
He is so old that his blood type was discontinued.
Dana, Bill
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Baruch, Bernard M.
