Age and aging

Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
- Carlyle, Thomas
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
Age considers; youth ventures.
Raupach

2.
The disappointment of manhood succeeds the delusion of youth.
Disraeli, Benjamin

3.
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.

4.
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.
Cicero, Marcus T.

5.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob

6.
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
Maurois, Andre

7.
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
Collins, Mortimer

8.
That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart.
Steele, Sir Richard

9.
The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.
Swift, Jonathan

10.
A lady of a certain age, which means certainly aged.
Byron, Lord

11.
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.

12.
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob

13.
Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man --and after that, praying.
Proverb, Irish

14.
It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
Beauvoir, Simone De

15.
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
Ali, Muhammad

16.
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.
Nuveen, John

17.
He was then in his fifty-fourth year, when even in the case of poets reason and passion begin to discuss a peace treaty and usually conclude it not very long afterwards.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

18.
Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.
Kierkegaard, S°ren

19.
It's good to be here. At 98, it's good to be anywhere.
Burns, George

20.
Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.
Marx, Groucho

21.
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

22.
Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms inside your head, and people in them, acting. People you know, yet can't quite name.
Larkin, Philip

23.
Here, with whitened hair, desires failing, strength ebbing out of him, with the sun gone down and with only the serenity and the calm warning of the evening star left to him, he drank to Life, to all it had been, to what it was, to what it would be. Hurrah!
O'Casey, Sean

24.
If you wouldn't live long, live well; for folly and wickedness shorten life.
Franklin, Benjamin

25.
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie

26.
Old age though despised, is coveted by all.
Proverb

27.
The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune.
Proverb, English

28.
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

29.
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.
Richter, Jean Paul

30.
Old age has a great sense of calm and freedom. When the passions have relaxed their hold and have escaped, not from one master, but from many.
Plato

31.
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Baruch, Bernard M.

32.
You can free yourself from aging by reinterpreting your body and by grasping the link between belief and biology.
Chopra, Deepak

33.
At twenty a man is a peacock, at thirty a lion, at forty a camel, at fifty a serpent, at sixty a dog, at seventy an ape, at eighty a nothing at all.
Gracian, Baltasar

34.
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh

35.
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James

36.
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

37.
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

38.
Live your life and forget your age.
Peale, Norman Vincent

39.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

40.
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

41.
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

42.
The outer passes away; the innermost is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Carlyle, Thomas

43.
No one grows old by living. Only by losing interest in living.
Ray, Marie Beyon

44.
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

45.
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Jung, Carl

46.
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

47.
Being seventy is not a sin.
Meir, Golda

48.
When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.
Mortimer, John

49.
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom

50.
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark
