Best Quotes about Age and aging
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
I have found it to be true that the older I've become the better my life has become.
Limbaugh, Rush
Men who have reached and passed forty-five, have a look as if waiting for the secret of the other world, and as if they were perfectly sure of having found out the secret of this.
Haydon, Benjamin
How can I die? I'm booked.
Burns, George
They are all gone into the world of light, and I alone sit lingering here.
Vaughan, Henry
I refuse to admit that I am more than 52, even if that makes my children illegitimate.
Astor, Lady Nancy
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
Growing old is not growing up.
Horton, Doug
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.
Cicero, Marcus T.
An old young man, will be a young old man.
Franklin, Benjamin
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Einstein, Albert
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!
Turner, Tina
Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.
Durrell, Lawrence
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Defoe, Daniel
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
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
Youth is a blunder, manhood is a struggle and old age a regret.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.
Marx, Groucho
Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with sympathy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us. I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years.
Golding, William
Every stage of human life, except the last, is marked out by certain and defined limits; old age alone has no precise and determinate boundary.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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
A person is always startled when he hears himself called old for the first time.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Palmer, Arnold
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
It was one of the deadliest and heaviest feelings of my life to feel that I was no longer a boy. From that moment I began to grow old in my own esteem --and in my esteem age is not estimable.
Byron, Lord
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Swift, Jonathan
As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.
Hemingway, Ernest
Minds ripen at very different ages.
Montagu, Elizabeth
The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
Lerner, Max
Old age is like flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.
Meir, Golda
It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily.
Palmer, R.
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
The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune.
Proverb, English
What's a man's age? He must hurry more, that's all; Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold.
Browning, Robert
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''
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
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
The outer passes away; the innermost is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Carlyle, Thomas
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
A woman past forty should make up her mind to be young; not her face.
Burke, Billie
An aged Christian, with the snow of time upon his head, may remind us that those points of earth are whitest which are nearest to heaven.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel
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
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
One keeps forgetting old age up to the very brink of the grave.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
Kollwitz, KaThe
I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.
Twain, Mark
Live your life and forget your age.
Peale, Norman Vincent
