Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
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.

Best Quotes about Age and aging
Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.
Durrell, Lawrence
Seek ye counsel of the aged for their eyes have looked on the faces of the years and their ears have hardened to the voices of Life. Even if their counsel is displeasing to you, pay heed to them.
Gibran, Kahlil
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
Pinero, Sir Arthur Wing
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
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Engel, Sigmund Z.
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.
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
Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man --and after that, praying.
Proverb, Irish
No gray hairs streak my soul, no grandfatherly fondness there! I shake the world with the might of my voice, and walk --handsome, twenty-two year old.
Mayakovsky, Vladimir
Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
Eliot, George
One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.
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
To think, when one is no longer young, when one is not yet old, that one is no longer young, that one is not yet old, that is perhaps something.
Beckett, Samuel
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
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Schulz, Charles M.
How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.
Burroughs, John
There are only three ages for women in Hollywood--Babe, District Attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy.
Hawn, Goldie
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
I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!
Turner, Tina
We pay when old for the excesses of youth.
Proverb
Except ye become as little children, except you can wake on your fiftieth birthday with the same forward-looking excitement and interest in life that you enjoyed when you were five, ye cannot enter the kingdom of God. One must not only die daily, but every day we must be born again.
Sayers, Dorothy L.
When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.
Mortimer, John
It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.
Swift, Jonathan
Old people love to give good advice to console themselves for no longer being able to set a bad example.
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
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
While we look not a that things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. [2 Corinthians 4:18]
Bible
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
It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily.
Palmer, R.
Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
Kuhn, Maggie
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset
The surest sign of age is loneliness.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
Colton, Charles Caleb
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha
Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with sympathy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us. I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years.
Golding, William
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
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
To resist the frigidity of old age, one must combine the body, the mind, and the heart. And to keep these in parallel vigor one must exercise, study, and love.
Bonstettin
Old age, especially an honored old age, has so great authority, that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.
Cicero, Marcus T.
I wasted time, and now time doth waste me.
Shakespeare, William
I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime.
Wilde, Oscar
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Swift, Jonathan
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie
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
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
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
We are not limited by our old ages; we are liberate by it.
Mittleman, Stu
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
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom
