Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
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

2.
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

3.
I'm 65 and I guess that puts me in with the geriatrics. But if there were fifteen months in every year, I'd only be 48. That's the trouble with us. We number everything. Take women, for example. I think they deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of 28 and 40.
Thurber, James

4.
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

5.
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

6.
Live your life and forget your age.
Peale, Norman Vincent

7.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William

8.
Old age has a great sense of calm and freedom. When the passions have relaxed their hold and have escaped, not from one master, but from many.
Plato

9.
I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!
Turner, Tina

10.
The golden age is before us, not behind us.
Simon, St.

11.
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

12.
As winter strips the leaves from around us, so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
Richter, Jean Paul

13.
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

14.
The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.
Eliot, T. S.

15.
In middle life, the human back is spoiling for a technical knockout and will use the flimsiest excuse, even a sneeze, to fall apart.
White, Elwyn Brooks

16.
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Proverb, German

17.
Old age is a shipwreck.
Gaulle, Charles De

18.
Old age is like flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.
Meir, Golda

19.
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Hazlitt, William

20.
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

21.
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have; the older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Christie, Agatha

22.
She was a handsome woman of forty-five and would remain so for many years.
Brookner, Anita

23.
That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart.
Steele, Sir Richard

24.
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James

25.
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

26.
Grow old with me the best is yet to come.
Browning, Robert

27.
Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese
Burke, Billie

28.
I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.
Twain, Mark

29.
We are happier in many ways when we are old than when we were young. The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.
Churchill, Winston

30.
There are only three ages for women in Hollywood--Babe, District Attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy.
Hawn, Goldie

31.
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Engel, Sigmund Z.

32.
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

33.
An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick
Yeats, William Butler

34.
I have never known a person to live to be one hundred and be remarkable for anything else.
Billings, Josh

35.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
Ullman, Samuel

36.
The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
Lerner, Max

37.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

38.
As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.
Hemingway, Ernest

39.
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

40.
I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.
Gabriel, Peter

41.
While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

42.
Minds ripen at very different ages.
Montagu, Elizabeth

43.
Age should not have its face lifted, but it should rather teach the world to admire wrinkles as the etchings of experience and the firm line of character.
Perry, Ralph B.

44.
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

45.
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Einstein, Albert

46.
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

47.
One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young.
Fisher, Dorothy Canfield

48.
Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.
Cato The Elder

49.
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

50.
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.
Nuveen, John
