Age and aging

At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he know he can't.
- Darrow, Clarence
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
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

2.
If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.
Sutzkever, Abraham

3.
While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

4.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William

5.
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

6.
When we are young we take pains to be agreeable, and when we are old we take pains not to be disagreeable.

7.
The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death.
Erasmus, Desiderius

8.
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

9.
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Jung, Carl

10.
To think, when one is no longer young, when one is not yet old, that one is no longer young, that one is not yet old, that is perhaps something.
Beckett, Samuel

11.
A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. I reckon, he said, with a twinkle in his eye,it because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up and worried.
Kent, Dorothea

12.
A person is always startled when he hears himself called old for the first time.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

13.
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

14.
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

15.
In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.
Bunuel, Luis

16.
Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. If we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old.
Edwards, Tryon

17.
The disappointment of manhood succeeds the delusion of youth.
Disraeli, Benjamin

18.
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

19.
If youth knew; if age could.
Estienne, Henri

20.
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
Powell, Anthony

21.
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
Wharton, Edith

22.
The surest sign of age is loneliness.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

23.
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

24.
You must not pity me because my sixtieth year finds me still astonished. To be astonished is one of the surest ways of not growing old too quickly.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

25.
Life begins at 40 -- but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same person, three or four times.
Feather, William

26.
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Einstein, Albert

27.
I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime.
Wilde, Oscar

28.
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
Collins, Mortimer

29.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. [Job 12:12]
Bible

30.
The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquillity of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset

31.
At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.
Franklin, Benjamin

32.
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

33.
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark

34.
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

35.
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.

36.
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob

37.
Age considers; youth ventures.
Raupach

38.
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

39.
Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, age don't matter.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

40.
I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.
Hershfield, Harry

41.
The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.
Swift, Jonathan

42.
You end up as you deserve. In old age you must put up with the face, the friends, the health, and the children you have earned.
Weldon, Fay

43.
We are not limited by our old ages; we are liberate by it.
Mittleman, Stu

44.
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

45.
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.
Allen, Hervey

46.
The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

47.
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.

48.
We do not stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

49.
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.

50.
One of the most important phases of maturing is that of growth from self-centering to an understanding relationship to others. A person is not mature until he has both an ability and a willingness to see himself as one among others and to do unto those others as he would have them do to him.
Overstreet, Harry A.
