Age and aging

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
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
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

2.
The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.
Hoffer, Eric

For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
Kollwitz, KaThe

4.
They are all gone into the world of light, and I alone sit lingering here.
Vaughan, Henry

5.
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.

Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.
Morgan, Arthur E.

7.
Rejoice that you have still have a long time to live, before the thought comes to you that there is nothing more in the world to see.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

8.
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Einstein, Albert

9.
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca

10.
I wasted time, and now time doth waste me.
Shakespeare, William

11.
You are young at any age if you are planning for tomorrow.

12.
Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man --and after that, praying.
Proverb, Irish

13.
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh

14.
Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.
Cato The Elder

15.
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Ball, Lucille

16.
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James

17.
Maturity is that time when the mirrors in our mind turn to windows and instead of seeing the reflection of ourselves we see others.

18.
Old age, especially an honored old age, has so great authority, that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.
Cicero, Marcus T.

19.
A man is not old as long as he is seeking something.
Rostand, Jean

20.
O what a thing is age! Death without death's quiet.
Landor, Walter Savage

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

22.
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
Powell, Anthony

23.
When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.
Mortimer, John

24.
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made.
Browning, Robert

25.
Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons.
Cass, Eli

26.
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

27.
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

28.
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Greier, John

29.
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob

30.
Middle Age is that perplexing time of life when we hear two voices calling us, one saying, Why not? and the other, Why bother?
Harris, Sidney J.

31.
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom

32.
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

33.
The person of wisdom is the person of years.
Young

34.
I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime.
Wilde, Oscar

35.
But it's hard to be hip over thirty when everyone else is nineteen, when the last dance we learned was the Lindy, and the last we heard, girls who looked like Barbara Streisand were trying to do something about it.
Viorst, Judith

36.
Live your life and forget your age.
Peale, Norman Vincent

37.
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
Wharton, Edith

38.
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

39.
There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him.
Tholuck

40.
If youth knew; if age could.
Estienne, Henri

41.
It really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself on-screen. I think of myself, and feel like I'm quite young, and then I look at this old man with the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding hairline and all that.
Hackman, Gene

42.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William

43.
Except ye become as little children, except you can wake on your fiftieth birthday with the same forward-looking excitement and interest in life that you enjoyed when you were five, ye cannot enter the kingdom of God. One must not only die daily, but every day we must be born again.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

44.
When we are young we take pains to be agreeable, and when we are old we take pains not to be disagreeable.

45.
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

46.
I have lived long enough. My way of life is to fall into the sere, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends I must not look to have.
Shakespeare, William

47.
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.

La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
