Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.

Best Quotes about Age and aging
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
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. [Merchant Of Venice]
Shakespeare, William
I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.
Hershfield, Harry
A lady of a certain age, which means certainly aged.
Byron, Lord
My time has been passed viciously and agreeably; at thirty-one so few years months days hours or minutes remain that Carpe Diem is not enough. I have been obliged to crop even the seconds -- for who can trust to tomorrow?
Byron, Lord
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
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
There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him.
Tholuck
One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young.
Fisher, Dorothy Canfield
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.
There are only three ages for women in Hollywood--Babe, District Attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy.
Hawn, Goldie
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
The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.
Hoffer, Eric
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha
How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
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.
A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. I reckon, he said, with a twinkle in his eye,it because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up and worried.
Kent, Dorothea
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.
Overstreet, Harry A.
Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.
Sayers, Dorothy L.
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
Life begins at 40 -- but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same person, three or four times.
Feather, William
She was a handsome woman of forty-five and would remain so for many years.
Brookner, Anita
Every man is the creature of the age in which he lives; very few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time.
Voltaire
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
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
If you're starting to look wrinkled, don't worry. It covers the scars.
Age does not matter if the matter does not age.
Romulo, Carlos Pena
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.
Hugo, Victor
Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.
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
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
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
Age should not have its face lifted, but it should rather teach the world to admire wrinkles as the etchings of experience and the firm line of character.
Perry, Ralph B.
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James
Youth is a blunder, manhood is a struggle and old age a regret.
Disraeli, Benjamin
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
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.
Richter, Jean Paul
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. [Job 12:12]
Bible
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Proverb, German
Thirty -- the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Stael, Germaine De
There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap into this source, you will truly have defeated age.
Loren, Sophia
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.
Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.
Hoagland, Edward
If youth knew; if age could.
Estienne, Henri
Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese
Burke, Billie
How earthy old people become --moldy as the grave! Their wisdom smacks of the earth. There is no foretaste of immortality in it. They remind me of earthworms and mole crickets.
Thoreau, Henry David
Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
