Age and aging

Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult. [Reflecting on his former status as a teen idol]
- Dillon, Matt
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.

2.
Thirty -- the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.

3.
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.

4.
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

5.
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Ball, Lucille

6.
Age carries all things away, even the mind.
Virgil

7.
The woman who tells her age is either too young to have anything to lose or too old to have anything to gain.
Proverb, Chinese

8.
One keeps forgetting old age up to the very brink of the grave.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

9.
An old-timer is one who remembers when it cost more to run a car than to park it.

10.
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

11.
I'm aiming by the time I'm fifty to stop being an adolescent.
Cope, Wendy

12.
Since it is the Other within us who is old, it is natural that the revelation of our age should come to us from outside --from others. We do not accept it willingly.
Beauvoir, Simone De

13.
Not till the fire is dying in the grate, Look we for any kinship with the stars. Oh, wisdom never comes when it is gold, And the great price we paid for it full worth: We have it only when we are half earth. Little avails that coinage to the old!
Meredith, George

14.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William

20.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

21.
It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily.
Palmer, R.

22.
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

23.
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.

24.
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Defoe, Daniel

25.
Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.
Kanin, Garson

26.
How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.
Burroughs, John

27.
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James

28.
My time has been passed viciously and agreeably; at thirty-one so few years months days hours or minutes remain that Carpe Diem is not enough. I have been obliged to crop even the seconds -- for who can trust to tomorrow?
Byron, Lord

29.
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

30.
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Stael, Germaine De

31.
We are not limited by our old ages; we are liberate by it.
Mittleman, Stu

32.
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Einstein, Albert

33.
In a few days I'll have lived one score and three days in this vale of tears. On I plod --always bored, often drunk, doing no penance for my faults --rather do I become more tolerant of myself from day to day, hardening my crystal heart with blasphemous humor and shunning only toothpicks, pathos, and poverty as being the three unforgivable things in life.

34.
Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons.
Cass, Eli

35.
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Schulz, Charles M.

36.
Most people think that aging is irreversible and we know that there are mechanisms even in the human machinery that allow for the reversal of aging, through correction of diet, through anti-oxidants, through removal of toxins from the body, through exercise, through yoga and breathing techniques, and through meditation.
Chopra, Deepak

37.
Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty; for in my youth I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood; and did not, with unbashful forehead, woo the means of weakness and debility: therefore my age is as a lusty winter, frosty but kindly.
Shakespeare, William

38.
Old age is a shipwreck.
Gaulle, Charles De

39.
We are happier in many ways when we are old than when we were young. The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.
Churchill, Winston

40.
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
Kuhn, Maggie

41.
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

42.
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Palmer, Arnold

43.
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have; the older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Christie, Agatha

44.
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh

45.
The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.
Swift, Jonathan

46.
Age is a matter of feeling, not of years.
Curtis, George William

47.
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

48.
It is not how old you are, but how you are old.
Dressler, Marie

49.
There is no one so old as to not think they may live a day longer.
Cicero, Marcus T.

50.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset
