Age and aging

The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
- Engel, Sigmund Z.
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.
Panin, Nikita Ivanovich

2.
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

3.
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob

4.
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

5.
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

6.
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

7.
How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

8.
A healthy old fellow, who is not a fool, is the happiest creature living.
Steele, Sir Richard

9.
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
Brown, Captain J.

10.
There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap into this source, you will truly have defeated age.
Loren, Sophia

11.
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

12.
Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.
Hoagland, Edward

13.
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
Trotsky, Leon

14.
Being seventy is not a sin.
Meir, Golda

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever.
Marquis, Don

18.
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

19.
There cannot live a more unhappy creature than an ill-natured old man, who is neither capable of receiving pleasures, nor sensible of conferring them on others.
Temple, Sir William

20.
I wasted time, and now time doth waste me.
Shakespeare, William

21.
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

22.
Old age equalizes -- we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.
Hoffer, Eric

23.
In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.
Bunuel, Luis

24.
Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms inside your head, and people in them, acting. People you know, yet can't quite name.
Larkin, Philip

25.
I don't generally feel anything until noon, then it's time for my nap.
Hope, Bob

26.
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.

27.
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.

28.
Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

29.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les

30.
Nature is full of freaks, and now puts an old head on young shoulders, and then takes a young heart heating under fourscore winters.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
The golden age is before us, not behind us.
Simon, St.

32.
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Defoe, Daniel

33.
These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in aging. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism.
Woolf, Virginia

34.
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

35.
One is rarely an impulsive innovator after the age of sixty, but one can still be a very fine orderly and inventive thinker. One rarely procreates children at that age, but one is all the more skilled at educating those who have already been procreated, and education is procreation of another kind.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

36.
The foolishness of old age does not characterize all who are old, but only the foolish.
Cicero, Marcus T.

37.
The surest sign of age is loneliness.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

38.
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie

39.
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

40.
A person is always startled when he hears himself called old for the first time.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

41.
No one grows old by living. Only by losing interest in living.
Ray, Marie Beyon

42.
Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years.
Wilde, Oscar

43.
O what a thing is age! Death without death's quiet.
Landor, Walter Savage

44.
Methuselah lived to be 969 years old . You boys and girls will see more in the next fifty years than Methuselah saw in his whole lifetime.
Twain, Mark

45.
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Hazlitt, William

46.
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

47.
For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
Kollwitz, KaThe

48.
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

49.
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
Carey, Joyce

50.
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
