Best Quotes about Age and aging
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
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives.
Chevalier, Maurice
Thirty -- the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
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
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have; the older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Christie, Agatha
The tendency of old age to the body, say the physiologists, is to form bone. It is as rare as it is pleasant to meet with an old man whose opinions are not ossified.
Boyse, J. F.
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
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh
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.
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
At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.
Franklin, Benjamin
The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune.
Proverb, English
I refuse to admit that I am more than 52, even if that makes my children illegitimate.
Astor, Lady Nancy
We are not limited by our old ages; we are liberate by it.
Mittleman, Stu
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Hazlitt, William
I am thirty-three -- the age of the good Sans-culotte Jesus; an age fatal to revolutionists.
Desmoulins, Camille
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
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
If you're starting to look wrinkled, don't worry. It covers the scars.
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
A healthy old fellow, who is not a fool, is the happiest creature living.
Steele, Sir Richard
The disappointment of manhood succeeds the delusion of youth.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Grow old with me the best is yet to come.
Browning, Robert
What a man knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is for the most part incommunicable.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
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.
The misery of the middle-aged woman is a gray and hopeless thing, born of having nothing to live for, of disappointment and resentment at having been gypped by consumer society, and surviving merely to be the butt of its unthinking scorn.
Greer, Germaine
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Schulz, Charles M.
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.
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
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
We grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more like ourselves.
Becker, May L.
Age. That period of life in which we compound for the vices that remain by reviling those we have no longer the vigor to commit.
Bierce, Ambrose
Age carries all things away, even the mind.
Virgil
I think in twenty years I'll be looked at like Bob Hope. Doing those president jokes and golf shit. It scares me.
Murphy, Eddie
One keeps forgetting old age up to the very brink of the grave.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
Brown, Captain J.
To resist the frigidity of old age, one must combine the body, the mind, and the heart. And to keep these in parallel vigor one must exercise, study, and love.
Bonstettin
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
Trotsky, Leon
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Einstein, Albert
A lady of a certain age, which means certainly aged.
Byron, Lord
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
It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily.
Palmer, R.
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
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
When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.
Mortimer, John
Old age adds to the respect due to virtue, but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired by vice; it whitens only the hair.
Senn, J. P.
I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!
Turner, Tina
