Age and aging

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
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
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

2.
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.

3.
Age carries all things away, even the mind.
Virgil

4.
Thirty -- the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.

5.
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom

6.
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.

7.
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Astaire, Fred

8.
Live your life and forget your age.
Peale, Norman Vincent

9.
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.
Hugo, Victor

10.
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.

11.
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Schulz, Charles M.

12.
We pay when old for the excesses of youth.
Proverb

13.
It is not all bad, this getting old, ripening. After the fruit has got its growth it should juice up and mellow. God forbid I should live long enough to ferment and rot and fall to the ground in a squash.
Carr, Emily

14.
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.

15.
At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.
Franklin, Benjamin

16.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les

17.
I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.
Hershfield, Harry

18.
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

19.
Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.
Cato The Elder

20.
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.
Richter, Jean Paul

21.
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

22.
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha

23.
Age considers; youth ventures.
Raupach

24.
In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.
Bunuel, Luis

25.
I always looked to about thirty as the barrier of any real or fierce delight in the passions, and determined to work them out in the younger ore and better veins of the mine --and I flatter myself (perhaps) that I have pretty well done so --and now the dross is coming.
Byron, Lord

26.
At last now you can be what the old cannot recall and the young long for in dreams, yet still include them all.
Jennings, Elizabeth

27.
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

28.
Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese
Burke, Billie

29.
My generation, faced as it grew with a choice between religious belief and existential despair, chose marijuana. Now we are in our Cabernet stage.
Noonan, Peggy

30.
Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.
Woolf, Virginia

31.
Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
Eliot, George

32.
It is a sobering thought, that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for two years.
Lehrer, Tom

33.
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

34.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William

35.
No one grows old by living. Only by losing interest in living.
Ray, Marie Beyon

36.
We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

37.
I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!
Turner, Tina

38.
What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of one's faculties, mental and physical, but the burden of one's memories.
Maugham, W. Somerset

39.
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.

40.
By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it.
Burns, George

41.
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

42.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob

43.
Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigor. With such people the gray head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well-spent life.
Dickens, Charles

44.
Men of my age live in a state of continual desperation.
Mcdonald, Trevor

45.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel

46.
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

47.
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark

48.
Maturity is that time when the mirrors in our mind turn to windows and instead of seeing the reflection of ourselves we see others.

49.
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

50.
A woman's always younger than a man at equal years.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
