Age and aging

As winter strips the leaves from around us, so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
- Richter, Jean Paul
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

2.
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie

3.
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

Being seventy is not a sin.
Meir, Golda

5.
While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

6.
At twenty a man is a peacock, at thirty a lion, at forty a camel, at fifty a serpent, at sixty a dog, at seventy an ape, at eighty a nothing at all.
Gracian, Baltasar

7.
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

8.
I'm aiming by the time I'm fifty to stop being an adolescent.
Cope, Wendy

9.

Proverb, Chinese

10.
One keeps forgetting old age up to the very brink of the grave.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

11.
An aged Christian, with the snow of time upon his head, may remind us that those points of earth are whitest which are nearest to heaven.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

12.
Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.
Durrell, Lawrence

13.
Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, often lays his hand lightly upon those who have used him well; making them old men and women inexorably enough, but leaving their hearts and spirits young and in full vigor. With such people the gray head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well-spent life.
Dickens, Charles

14.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel

15.
It is a bore, I admit, to be past seventy, for you are left for execution, and are daily expecting the death-warrant; but it is not anything very capital we quit. We are, at the close of life, only hurried away from stomach-aches, pains in the joints, from sleepless nights and unamusing days, from weakness, ugliness, and nervous tremors; but we shall all meet again in another planet, cured of all our defects.
Smith, Sydney

16.
A man has every season while a woman only has the right to spring. That disgusts me.
Fonda, Jane

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

18.
To me -- old age is always ten years older than I am.
Buruch, Andre B.

19.
How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.
Burroughs, John

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

21.
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
Brown, Rita Mae

22.
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

23.
Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
Kuhn, Maggie

24.
At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
Woolf, Virginia

25.
Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
Richards, Keith

26.
The class distinctions proper to a democratic society are not those of rank or money, still less, as is apt to happen when these are abandoned, of race, but of age.
Auden, W. H.

27.
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.

A man is not old as long as he is seeking something.

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

34.
A lady of a certain age, which means certainly aged.
Byron, Lord

35.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

36.
Nature is full of freaks, and now puts an old head on young shoulders, and then takes a young heart heating under fourscore winters.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

37.
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

38.
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.
Nuveen, John

39.
Growing old is not growing up.
Horton, Doug

Amiel, Henri Frederic

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

47.
In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.
Bunuel, Luis

48.
The surest sign of age is loneliness.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

49.
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!
Meredith, George

50.
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
Wharton, Edith
