Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
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.

Best Quotes about Age and aging
Every man is the creature of the age in which he lives; very few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time.
Voltaire
A woman's always younger than a man at equal years.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Age carries all things away, even the mind.
Virgil
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
Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever.
Marquis, Don
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. [2 Corinthians 4:16]
Bible
If the young knew and the old could, there is nothing that couldn't be done.
Proverb
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
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
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.
Nuveen, John
The person of wisdom is the person of years.
Young
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
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm
Thoreau, Henry David
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.
Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese
Burke, Billie
The older you get the stronger the wind gets -- and it's always in your face.
Nicklaus, Jack
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have; the older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Christie, Agatha
Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
Maugham, W. Somerset
I don't generally feel anything until noon, then it's time for my nap.
Hope, Bob
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
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom
An aged Christian, with the snow of time upon his head, may remind us that those points of earth are whitest which are nearest to heaven.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
Collins, Mortimer
I have found it to be true that the older I've become the better my life has become.
Limbaugh, Rush
An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick
Yeats, William Butler
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
We pay when old for the excesses of youth.
Proverb
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca
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
Every man who has lived for fifty years has buried a whole world or even two; he has grown used to its disappearance and accustomed to the new scenery of another act: but suddenly the names and faces of a time long dead appear more and more often on his way, calling up series of shades and pictures kept somewhere, just in case, in the endless catacombs of the memory, making him smile or sigh, and sometimes almost weep.
Herzen, Alexander
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
In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.
Panin, Nikita Ivanovich
I refuse to admit that I am more than 52, even if that makes my children illegitimate.
Astor, Lady Nancy
Youth is a blunder, manhood is a struggle and old age a regret.
Disraeli, Benjamin
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William
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
A healthy old fellow, who is not a fool, is the happiest creature living.
Steele, Sir Richard
Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.
Cato The Elder
Every stage of human life, except the last, is marked out by certain and defined limits; old age alone has no precise and determinate boundary.
Cicero, Marcus T.
The older woman's love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover's eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grass blade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Greer, Germaine
We do not stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
They are all gone into the world of light, and I alone sit lingering here.
Vaughan, Henry
It is a sobering thought, that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for two years.
Lehrer, Tom
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
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
How can I die? I'm booked.
Burns, George
Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, age don't matter.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''
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.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
Richards, Keith
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
Ali, Muhammad
