Age and aging

That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
- Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
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

2.
At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths --your abilities and your failings.
Depardieu, Gerard

3.
As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.
Hemingway, Ernest

4.
Minds ripen at very different ages.
Montagu, Elizabeth

5.
Every stage of human life, except the last, is marked out by certain and defined limits; old age alone has no precise and determinate boundary.
Cicero, Marcus T.

6.
I always looked to about thirty as the barrier of any real or fierce delight in the passions, and determined to work them out in the younger ore and better veins of the mine --and I flatter myself (perhaps) that I have pretty well done so --and now the dross is coming.
Byron, Lord

7.
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

8.
My generation, faced as it grew with a choice between religious belief and existential despair, chose marijuana. Now we are in our Cabernet stage.
Noonan, Peggy

9.
Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms inside your head, and people in them, acting. People you know, yet can't quite name.
Larkin, Philip

10.
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

11.
The golden age is before us, not behind us.
Simon, St.

12.
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

13.
Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, age don't matter.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

14.
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.
Allen, Hervey

15.
A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
Child, Lydia M.

16.
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Arden, Elizabeth

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Study until twenty five, investigate until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.
Osler, Sir William

20.
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.

21.
The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion.
Lessing, Doris

22.
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
Wharton, Edith

23.
The older you get the stronger the wind gets -- and it's always in your face.
Nicklaus, Jack

24.
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

25.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset

26.
Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age.
Moreau, Jeanne

27.
I'd like to grow very old as slowly as possible.
Selznick, Irene Mayer

28.
I have never known a person to live to be one hundred and be remarkable for anything else.
Billings, Josh

29.
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Engel, Sigmund Z.

30.
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.

31.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

32.
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

33.
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
Powell, Anthony

34.
That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart.
Steele, Sir Richard

35.
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.

36.
I'm aiming by the time I'm fifty to stop being an adolescent.
Cope, Wendy

37.
If you wouldn't live long, live well; for folly and wickedness shorten life.
Franklin, Benjamin

38.
Age does not matter if the matter does not age.
Romulo, Carlos Pena

39.
Men of my age live in a state of continual desperation.
Mcdonald, Trevor

40.
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

41.
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Ball, Lucille

42.
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca

43.
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

44.
The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.
Swift, Jonathan

45.
Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.
Morgan, Arthur E.

46.
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Jung, Carl

47.
How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

48.
Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.
Arnold, Thomas

49.
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.
Cicero, Marcus T.

50.
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.
