Best Quotes about Age and aging
I'd like to grow very old as slowly as possible.
Selznick, Irene Mayer
Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.
Marx, Groucho
When you're 50 you start thinking about things you haven't thought about before. I used to think getting old was about vanity -- but actually it's about losing people you love. Getting wrinkles is trivial.
Oates, Joyce Carol
To grow old is to grow common. 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
Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.
Cato The Elder
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
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob
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
Old age is like flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.
Meir, Golda
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
A woman would rather visit her own grave than the place where she has been young and beautiful after she is aged and ugly.
Harris, Corra May
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
He is so old that his blood type was discontinued.
Dana, Bill
At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.
Franklin, Benjamin
In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.
Bunuel, Luis
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Ball, Lucille
It is only necessary to grow old to become more charitable and even indulgent. I see no fault committed by others that I have not committed myself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart.
Steele, Sir Richard
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Paul, Jean
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 is a matter of feeling, not of years.
Curtis, George William
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
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.
Maturity is that time when the mirrors in our mind turn to windows and instead of seeing the reflection of ourselves we see others.
The foolishness of old age does not characterize all who are old, but only the foolish.
Cicero, Marcus T.
It is a sobering thought, that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for two years.
Lehrer, Tom
To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.
Bleasdale, Alan
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William
I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
Eliot, T. S.
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Engel, Sigmund Z.
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.
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
I think middle-age is the best time, if we can escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which often sets in at about fifty.
Inge, Dean William R.
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
Ali, Muhammad
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas
A woman's always younger than a man at equal years.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
How can I die? I'm booked.
Burns, George
He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.
Herbert, George
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.
Richter, Jean Paul
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Hazlitt, William
I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!
Turner, Tina
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
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
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Proverb, German
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
Wharton, Edith
With care, and skill, and cunning art, She parried Time's malicious dart, And kept the years at bay, Till passion entered in her heart and aged her in a day!
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
