Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
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!

Best Quotes about Age and aging
Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long life.
Auber, Daniel Francois Esprit
Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms inside your head, and people in them, acting. People you know, yet can't quite name.
Larkin, Philip
An old-timer is one who remembers when it cost more to run a car than to park it.
Nature should have been pleased to have made this age miserable, without making it also ridiculous.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob
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
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
It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
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
Age carries all things away, even the mind.
Virgil
Don't just count your years, make your years count.
Meyers, Ernest
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
If youth knew; if age could.
Estienne, Henri
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
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James
Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty; for in my youth I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood; and did not, with unbashful forehead, woo the means of weakness and debility: therefore my age is as a lusty winter, frosty but kindly.
Shakespeare, William
In middle life, the human back is spoiling for a technical knockout and will use the flimsiest excuse, even a sneeze, to fall apart.
White, Elwyn Brooks
By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it.
Burns, George
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca
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
The trick is growing up without growing old.
Stengel, Casey
Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity. The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations.
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.
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
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.
Like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its tone is mellower, its colors are richer, and it is tinged with a little sorrow. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and its content.
Lin Yu-tang
No one is so old as to think he cannot live one more year.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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
I'd like to grow very old as slowly as possible.
Selznick, Irene Mayer
An aged man is but a paltry thing, a tattered coat upon a stick
Yeats, William Butler
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
I wasted time, and now time doth waste me.
Shakespeare, William
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.
People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can't know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do --after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world's anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.
Faulkner, William
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Hazlitt, William
You are young at any age if you are planning for tomorrow.
They are all gone into the world of light, and I alone sit lingering here.
Vaughan, Henry
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.
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
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.
Hugo, Victor
The woman who tells her age is either too young to have anything to lose or too old to have anything to gain.
Proverb, Chinese
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have; the older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Christie, Agatha
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
No one grows old by living. Only by losing interest in living.
Ray, Marie Beyon
While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
Since it is the Other within us who is old, it is natural that the revelation of our age should come to us from outside --from others. We do not accept it willingly.
Beauvoir, Simone De
It takes a long time to become young.
Picasso, Pablo
The older you get the stronger the wind gets -- and it's always in your face.
Nicklaus, Jack
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
Kuhn, Maggie
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
