Age and aging
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.

Best Quotes about Age and aging
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
Wharton, Edith
Don't just count your years, make your years count.
Meyers, Ernest
It is not all bad, this getting old, ripening. After the fruit has got its growth it should juice up and mellow. God forbid I should live long enough to ferment and rot and fall to the ground in a squash.
Carr, Emily
Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.
Young, Edward
If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.
Mead, Margaret
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Astaire, Fred
The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Swift, Jonathan
Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, age don't matter.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
Eliot, T. S.
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
We lose our hair, our teeth! Our bloom, our ideals.
Beckett, Samuel
By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it.
Burns, George
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Greier, John
Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
Kuhn, Maggie
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset
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
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
Collins, Mortimer
Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man --and after that, praying.
Proverb, Irish
There is no one so old as to not think they may live a day longer.
Cicero, Marcus T.
The older you get the stronger the wind gets -- and it's always in your face.
Nicklaus, Jack
For in all the world there are no people so piteous and forlorn as those who are forced to eat the bitter bread of dependency in their old age, and find how steep are the stairs of another man's house. Wherever they go they know themselves unwelcome. Wherever they are, they feel themselves a burden. There is no humiliation of the spirit they are not forced to endure. Their hearts are scarred all over with the stabs from cruel and callous speeches.
Dix, Dorothy
Those who search beyond the natural limits will retain good hearing and clear vision, their bodies will remain light and strong, and although they grow old in years they will remain able-bodied and flourishing; and those who are able-bodied can govern to
Huang Ti
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. [2 Corinthians 4:16]
Bible
Age carries all things away, even the mind.
Virgil
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Palmer, Arnold
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
If you're starting to look wrinkled, don't worry. It covers the scars.
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
Powell, Anthony
In my twenties, my pleasures tended to be physical. In my thirties, my pleasures tended to be intellectual. I can't say which was more exquisite.
Kangas, Steve
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James
Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.
Cato The Elder
Nature should have been pleased to have made this age miserable, without making it also ridiculous.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
How can I die? I'm booked.
Burns, George
In mid-life the man wants to see how irresistible he still is to younger women. How they turn their hearts to stone and more or less commit a murder of their marriage I just don't know, but they do.
Neal, Patricia
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
By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves.
Dressler, Marie
One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young.
Fisher, Dorothy Canfield
Childhood itself is scarcely more lovely than a cheerful, kindly, sunshiny old age.
Child, Lydia M.
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.
How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.
Mortimer, John
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
A person is always startled when he hears himself called old for the first time.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
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
You can free yourself from aging by reinterpreting your body and by grasping the link between belief and biology.
Chopra, Deepak
Old age is like flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.
Meir, Golda
The outer passes away; the innermost is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Carlyle, Thomas
A healthy old fellow, who is not a fool, is the happiest creature living.
Steele, Sir Richard
