Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
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.

Best Quotes about Age and aging
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow up.
Edwards, Tryon
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
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
Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age.
Moreau, Jeanne
It is only necessary to grow old to become more charitable and even indulgent. I see no fault committed by others that I have not committed myself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Old age is the verdict of life.
Barr, Amelia E.
We pay when old for the excesses of youth.
Proverb
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.
Johnson
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.
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
Maturity is that time when the mirrors in our mind turn to windows and instead of seeing the reflection of ourselves we see others.
Age carries all things away, even the mind.
Virgil
Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.
Pope, Alexander
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.
Hugo, Victor
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
If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.
Sutzkever, Abraham
Age does not matter if the matter does not age.
Romulo, Carlos Pena
Growing old is not growing up.
Horton, Doug
The short bloom of our brief and narrow life flies far away. While we are calling for flowers and wine and woman, old age is upon us.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
Old people love to give good advice to console themselves for no longer being able to set a bad example.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
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
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.
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.
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
Live your life and forget your age.
Peale, Norman Vincent
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
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
Being seventy is not a sin.
Meir, Golda
For the first fourteen years for a rod they do while for the next as a pearl in the world they do shine. For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve. For the next matrons or drudges they serve. For the next doth crave a staff for a stay. For the next a bier to fetch them away.
Tusser, Thomas
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
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
When you're 50 you start thinking about things you haven't thought about before. I used to think getting old was about vanity -- but actually it's about losing people you love. Getting wrinkles is trivial.
Oates, Joyce Carol
I have found it to be true that the older I've become the better my life has become.
Limbaugh, Rush
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
Ullman, Samuel
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
While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from life's page, And be alone on earth, as I am now.
Byron, Lord
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
I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.
Bleasdale, Alan
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
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Schulz, Charles M.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Einstein, Albert
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Jung, Carl
To me -- old age is always ten years older than I am.
Buruch, Andre B.
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
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
The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death.
Erasmus, Desiderius
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Paul, Jean
I'd like to grow very old as slowly as possible.
Selznick, Irene Mayer
