Age and aging
Middle Age is that perplexing time of life when we hear two voices calling us, one saying, Why not? and the other, Why bother?

Best Quotes about Age and aging
We grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more like ourselves.
Becker, May L.
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
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
Brown, Rita Mae
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
To grow old is to grow common. Old age equalizes -- we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.
Hoffer, Eric
Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long life.
Auber, Daniel Francois Esprit
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
Powell, Anthony
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
How earthy old people become --moldy as the grave! Their wisdom smacks of the earth. There is no foretaste of immortality in it. They remind me of earthworms and mole crickets.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Defoe, Daniel
Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.
Sayers, Dorothy L.
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
They are all gone into the world of light, and I alone sit lingering here.
Vaughan, Henry
A lady of a certain age, which means certainly aged.
Byron, Lord
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Hazlitt, William
He is so old that his blood type was discontinued.
Dana, Bill
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives.
Chevalier, Maurice
Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.
Hoagland, Edward
The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know you'll grow out of it!
Day, Doris
Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese
Burke, Billie
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
No one grows old by living. Only by losing interest in living.
Ray, Marie Beyon
The foolishness of old age does not characterize all who are old, but only the foolish.
Cicero, Marcus T.
While we look not a that things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. [2 Corinthians 4:18]
Bible
The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune.
Proverb, English
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
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
You are young at any age if you are planning for tomorrow.
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
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Greier, John
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
Collins, Mortimer
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les
Minds ripen at very different ages.
Montagu, Elizabeth
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
Age carries all things away, even the mind.
Virgil
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
Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.
Rahel
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow up.
Edwards, Tryon
For the first fourteen years for a rod they do while for the next as a pearl in the world they do shine. For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve. For the next matrons or drudges they serve. For the next doth crave a staff for a stay. For the next a bier to fetch them away.
Tusser, Thomas
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 don't generally feel anything until noon, then it's time for my nap.
Hope, Bob
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
Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.
Durrell, Lawrence
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Palmer, Arnold
At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
Woolf, Virginia
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.
Johnson
Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
Philo
