Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
Powell, Anthony

2.
Seek ye counsel of the aged for their eyes have looked on the faces of the years and their ears have hardened to the voices of Life. Even if their counsel is displeasing to you, pay heed to them.
Gibran, Kahlil

3.
It takes a long time to become young.
Picasso, Pablo

4.
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

5.
Study until twenty five, investigate until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.
Osler, Sir William

6.
People of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon and seldom drive business home to it's conclusion, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
Bacon, Francis

7.
Age does not matter if the matter does not age.
Romulo, Carlos Pena

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

9.
The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years.
Chopra, Deepak

10.
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Paul, Jean

11.
To me -- old age is always ten years older than I am.
Buruch, Andre B.

12.
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

13.
It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
Beauvoir, Simone De

14.
Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, age don't matter.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

15.
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

16.
The trouble with our age is that it is all signpost and no destination.
Kronenberger, Louis

17.
Grow old with me the best is yet to come.
Browning, Robert

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.

22.
Now that I am sixty, I see why the idea of elder wisdom has passed from currency.
Updike, John

23.
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm
Thoreau, Henry David

24.
Age considers; youth ventures.
Raupach

25.
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Greier, John

26.
Old people love to give good advice to console themselves for no longer being able to set a bad example.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

27.
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
Cicero, Marcus T.

28.
No one is so old as to think he cannot live one more year.
Cicero, Marcus T.

29.
Nature should have been pleased to have made this age miserable, without making it also ridiculous.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

30.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. [Job 12:12]
Bible

31.
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.

32.
How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

33.
If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.
Sutzkever, Abraham

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

35.
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

36.
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
Kuhn, Maggie

37.
Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.
Hoagland, Edward

38.
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Baruch, Bernard M.

39.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob

40.
Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.

41.
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
Brown, Captain J.

42.
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

43.
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

44.
An old young man, will be a young old man.
Franklin, Benjamin

45.
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.
Allen, Hervey

46.
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.

47.
Maturity is that time when the mirrors in our mind turn to windows and instead of seeing the reflection of ourselves we see others.

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.
By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it.
Burns, George

50.
I think in twenty years I'll be looked at like Bob Hope. Doing those president jokes and golf shit. It scares me.
Murphy, Eddie
