Best Quotes about Age and aging
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 doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark
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.
Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long life.
Auber, Daniel Francois Esprit
Live your life and forget your age.
Peale, Norman Vincent
Age. That period of life in which we compound for the vices that remain by reviling those we have no longer the vigor to commit.
Bierce, Ambrose
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh
A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him, At my age, I don't even buy green bananas.
Pepper, Claude D.
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
Richter, Jean Paul
I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime.
Wilde, Oscar
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Ball, Lucille
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. [Merchant Of Venice]
Shakespeare, William
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
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William
The really frightening thing about middle age is that you know you'll grow out of it!
Day, Doris
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
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
Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man --and after that, praying.
Proverb, Irish
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Someday you will read in the papers that Moody is dead. Don't you believe a word of it. At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I was born of the flesh in 1837, I was born of the spirit in 1855. That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit shall live forever.
Moody, Dwight L.
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Stael, Germaine De
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
The short bloom of our brief and narrow life flies far away. While we are calling for flowers and wine and woman, old age is upon us.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
In a few days I'll have lived one score and three days in this vale of tears. On I plod --always bored, often drunk, doing no penance for my faults --rather do I become more tolerant of myself from day to day, hardening my crystal heart with blasphemous humor and shunning only toothpicks, pathos, and poverty as being the three unforgivable things in life.
Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.
Kanin, Garson
Old age adds to the respect due to virtue, but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired by vice; it whitens only the hair.
Senn, J. P.
We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
You can free yourself from aging by reinterpreting your body and by grasping the link between belief and biology.
Chopra, Deepak
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
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
Middle Age is that perplexing time of life when we hear two voices calling us, one saying, Why not? and the other, Why bother?
Harris, Sidney J.
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Engel, Sigmund Z.
The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
Lerner, Max
At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
Woolf, Virginia
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow up.
Edwards, Tryon
What a man knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is for the most part incommunicable.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
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
Old age has a great sense of calm and freedom. When the passions have relaxed their hold and have escaped, not from one master, but from many.
Plato
Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.
Greer, Germaine
I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.
Gabriel, Peter
I don't generally feel anything until noon, then it's time for my nap.
Hope, Bob
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
Trotsky, Leon
Old age is not a disease -- it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
Kuhn, Maggie
To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
