Age and aging
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.

Best Quotes about Age and aging
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
If youth knew; if age could.
Estienne, Henri
He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.
Herbert, George
An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick
Yeats, William Butler
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Greier, John
In mid-life the man wants to see how irresistible he still is to younger women. How they turn their hearts to stone and more or less commit a murder of their marriage I just don't know, but they do.
Neal, Patricia
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Ball, Lucille
Old age is a shipwreck.
Gaulle, Charles De
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.
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
When you're 50 you start thinking about things you haven't thought about before. I used to think getting old was about vanity -- but actually it's about losing people you love. Getting wrinkles is trivial.
Oates, Joyce Carol
A woman would rather visit her own grave than the place where she has been young and beautiful after she is aged and ugly.
Harris, Corra May
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
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
Brown, Rita Mae
Old age though despised, is coveted by all.
Proverb
A woman's always younger than a man at equal years.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie
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
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
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.
Age considers; youth ventures.
Raupach
In my twenties, my pleasures tended to be physical. In my thirties, my pleasures tended to be intellectual. I can't say which was more exquisite.
Kangas, Steve
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.
Johnson
At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
Woolf, Virginia
The tendency of old age to the body, say the physiologists, is to form bone. It is as rare as it is pleasant to meet with an old man whose opinions are not ossified.
Boyse, J. F.
Old people love to give good advice to console themselves for no longer being able to set a bad example.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
I have found it to be true that the older I've become the better my life has become.
Limbaugh, Rush
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
Brown, Captain J.
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
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Defoe, Daniel
One of the most important phases of maturing is that of growth from self-centering to an understanding relationship to others. A person is not mature until he has both an ability and a willingness to see himself as one among others and to do unto those others as he would have them do to him.
Overstreet, Harry A.
When we are young we take pains to be agreeable, and when we are old we take pains not to be disagreeable.
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves.
Dressler, Marie
The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune.
Proverb, English
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
Men who have reached and passed forty-five, have a look as if waiting for the secret of the other world, and as if they were perfectly sure of having found out the secret of this.
Haydon, Benjamin
I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime.
Wilde, Oscar
It's good to be here. At 98, it's good to be anywhere.
Burns, George
O what a thing is age! Death without death's quiet.
Landor, Walter Savage
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Baruch, Bernard M.
Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.
Young, Edward
He is so old that his blood type was discontinued.
Dana, Bill
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
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made.
Browning, Robert
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
