Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
At twenty a man is a peacock, at thirty a lion, at forty a camel, at fifty a serpent, at sixty a dog, at seventy an ape, at eighty a nothing at all.

Best Quotes about Age and aging
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Hazlitt, William
An old-timer is one who remembers when it cost more to run a car than to park it.
A man has every season while a woman only has the right to spring. That disgusts me.
Fonda, Jane
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
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
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.
I have lived long enough. My way of life is to fall into the sere, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends I must not look to have.
Shakespeare, William
The trouble with our age is that it is all signpost and no destination.
Kronenberger, Louis
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
Kuhn, Maggie
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.
Richter, Jean Paul
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
To resist the frigidity of old age, one must combine the body, the mind, and the heart. And to keep these in parallel vigor one must exercise, study, and love.
Bonstettin
No gray hairs streak my soul, no grandfatherly fondness there! I shake the world with the might of my voice, and walk --handsome, twenty-two year old.
Mayakovsky, Vladimir
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
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.
Nuveen, John
Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese
Burke, Billie
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives.
Chevalier, Maurice
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Ball, Lucille
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
Age. That period of life in which we compound for the vices that remain by reviling those we have no longer the vigor to commit.
Bierce, Ambrose
At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
Woolf, Virginia
Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age.
Moreau, Jeanne
Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long life.
Auber, Daniel Francois Esprit
There cannot live a more unhappy creature than an ill-natured old man, who is neither capable of receiving pleasures, nor sensible of conferring them on others.
Temple, Sir William
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Astaire, Fred
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom
When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
Stone, I. F.
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
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
To be happy, we must be true to nature, and carry our age along with us.
Hazlitt, William
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
Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.
Pope, Alexander
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
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
Ullman, Samuel
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm
Thoreau, Henry David
What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from life's page, And be alone on earth, as I am now.
Byron, Lord
O what a thing is age! Death without death's quiet.
Landor, Walter Savage
What a man knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is for the most part incommunicable.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
Brown, Captain J.
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
Maurois, Andre
Don't just count your years, make your years count.
Meyers, Ernest
If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.
Sutzkever, Abraham
One keeps forgetting old age up to the very brink of the grave.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
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
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Arden, Elizabeth
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
Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.
Marx, Groucho
I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!
Turner, Tina
