Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
An important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.

Best Quotes about Age and aging
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.
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
A man has every season while a woman only has the right to spring. That disgusts me.
Fonda, Jane
For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
Kollwitz, KaThe
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
Being seventy is not a sin.
Meir, Golda
Minds ripen at very different ages.
Montagu, Elizabeth
By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it.
Burns, George
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
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
Trotsky, Leon
He is so old that his blood type was discontinued.
Dana, Bill
When we are young we take pains to be agreeable, and when we are old we take pains not to be disagreeable.
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.
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. [Merchant Of Venice]
Shakespeare, William
Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons.
Cass, Eli
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
I'd like to grow very old as slowly as possible.
Selznick, Irene Mayer
If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.
Sutzkever, Abraham
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow up.
Edwards, Tryon
Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long life.
Auber, Daniel Francois Esprit
It is a bore, I admit, to be past seventy, for you are left for execution, and are daily expecting the death-warrant; but it is not anything very capital we quit. We are, at the close of life, only hurried away from stomach-aches, pains in the joints, from sleepless nights and unamusing days, from weakness, ugliness, and nervous tremors; but we shall all meet again in another planet, cured of all our defects.
Smith, Sydney
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
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas
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.
We lose our hair, our teeth! Our bloom, our ideals.
Beckett, Samuel
Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age.
Moreau, Jeanne
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha
A lady of a certain age, which means certainly aged.
Byron, Lord
It is a sobering thought, that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for two years.
Lehrer, Tom
How can I die? I'm booked.
Burns, George
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
Of all the barbarous middle ages, that which is most barbarous is the middle age of man! it is -- I really scarce know what; but when we hover between fool and sage, and don't know justly what we would be at -- a period something like a printed page, black letter upon foolscap, while our hair grows grizzled, and we are not what we were.
Byron, Lord
Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.
Mead, Margaret
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.
Hugo, Victor
An old young man, will be a young old man.
Franklin, Benjamin
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie
The class distinctions proper to a democratic society are not those of rank or money, still less, as is apt to happen when these are abandoned, of race, but of age.
Auden, W. H.
It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.
Richter, Jean Paul
I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.
Gabriel, Peter
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh
Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
Philo
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
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
The short bloom of our brief and narrow life flies far away. While we are calling for flowers and wine and woman, old age is upon us.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?
Byron, Lord
