Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark

2.
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

3.
Every time I think that I'm getting old, and gradually going to the grave, something else happens.
Carter, Lillian

4.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset

5.
Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult. [Reflecting on his former status as a teen idol]
Dillon, Matt

6.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. [Job 12:12]
Bible

7.
Men of my age live in a state of continual desperation.
Mcdonald, Trevor

8.
At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
Woolf, Virginia

9.
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Einstein, Albert

10.
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
Brown, Captain J.

11.
Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.
Woolf, Virginia

12.
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom

13.
Here, with whitened hair, desires failing, strength ebbing out of him, with the sun gone down and with only the serenity and the calm warning of the evening star left to him, he drank to Life, to all it had been, to what it was, to what it would be. Hurrah!
O'Casey, Sean

14.
Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.
Hoagland, Edward

15.
Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons.
Cass, Eli

16.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Ullman, Samuel

17.
The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
Lerner, Max

18.
The surest sign of age is loneliness.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

19.
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

20.
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

21.
What a man knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is for the most part incommunicable.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

22.
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

23.
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

24.
The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.
Hardy, Thomas

25.
It was one of the deadliest and heaviest feelings of my life to feel that I was no longer a boy. From that moment I began to grow old in my own esteem --and in my esteem age is not estimable.
Byron, Lord

26.
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

27.
I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?
Byron, Lord

28.
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Palmer, Arnold

29.
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

30.
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.

31.
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
Brown, Rita Mae

32.
I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.
Bleasdale, Alan

33.
Not till the fire is dying in the grate, Look we for any kinship with the stars. Oh, wisdom never comes when it is gold, And the great price we paid for it full worth: We have it only when we are half earth. Little avails that coinage to the old!
Meredith, George

34.
You must not pity me because my sixtieth year finds me still astonished. To be astonished is one of the surest ways of not growing old too quickly.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

35.
I always looked to about thirty as the barrier of any real or fierce delight in the passions, and determined to work them out in the younger ore and better veins of the mine --and I flatter myself (perhaps) that I have pretty well done so --and now the dross is coming.
Byron, Lord

36.
Those who search beyond the natural limits will retain good hearing and clear vision, their bodies will remain light and strong, and although they grow old in years they will remain able-bodied and flourishing; and those who are able-bodied can govern to
Huang Ti

41.
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.

42.
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

43.
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.

Carlyle, Thomas
