Age and aging

I think in twenty years I'll be looked at like Bob Hope. Doing those president jokes and golf shit. It scares me.
- Murphy, Eddie
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
I am thirty-three -- the age of the good Sans-culotte Jesus; an age fatal to revolutionists.
Desmoulins, Camille

2.
The older woman's love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover's eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grass blade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Greer, Germaine

3.
If youth knew; if age could.
Estienne, Henri

4.
Being over seventy is like being engaged in a war. All our friends are going or gone and we survive amongst the dead and the dying as on a battlefield.
Spark, Muriel

5.
Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age.
Moreau, Jeanne

6.
While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

7.
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Swift, Jonathan

8.
Every time I think that I'm getting old, and gradually going to the grave, something else happens.
Carter, Lillian

9.
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

10.
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.

11.
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

12.
We pay when old for the excesses of youth.
Proverb

13.
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
Wharton, Edith

14.
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.

15.
Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.
Woolf, Virginia

16.
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.

17.
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

18.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

19.
Grow old with me the best is yet to come.
Browning, Robert

20.
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Ball, Lucille

21.
Now that I am sixty, I see why the idea of elder wisdom has passed from currency.
Updike, John

22.
Old age is the verdict of life.
Barr, Amelia E.

23.
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.

24.
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

25.
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Arden, Elizabeth

26.
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

27.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset

28.
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. [Merchant Of Venice]
Shakespeare, William

29.
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
Trotsky, Leon

30.
Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.
Marx, Groucho

31.
Many foxes grow gray but few grow good.
Franklin, Benjamin

32.
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

33.
For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
Kollwitz, KaThe

34.
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

35.
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.
Nuveen, John

36.
One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.

37.
Being seventy is not a sin.
Meir, Golda

38.
A person is always startled when he hears himself called old for the first time.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

39.
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

40.
Maturity is that time when the mirrors in our mind turn to windows and instead of seeing the reflection of ourselves we see others.

41.
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

42.
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Palmer, Arnold

43.
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
Greier, John

44.
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
Billings, Josh

45.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. [Job 12:12]
Bible

46.
The misery of the middle-aged woman is a gray and hopeless thing, born of having nothing to live for, of disappointment and resentment at having been gypped by consumer society, and surviving merely to be the butt of its unthinking scorn.
Greer, Germaine

47.
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

48.
Age is a matter of feeling, not of years.
Curtis, George William

49.
An old-timer is one who remembers when it cost more to run a car than to park it.

50.
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Baruch, Bernard M.
