Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
What a man knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is for the most part incommunicable.

Best Quotes about Age and aging
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob
When we are young we take pains to be agreeable, and when we are old we take pains not to be disagreeable.
He is so old that his blood type was discontinued.
Dana, Bill
I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.
Twain, Mark
The disappointment of manhood succeeds the delusion of youth.
Disraeli, Benjamin
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
One is rarely an impulsive innovator after the age of sixty, but one can still be a very fine orderly and inventive thinker. One rarely procreates children at that age, but one is all the more skilled at educating those who have already been procreated, and education is procreation of another kind.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.
Greer, Germaine
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
Trotsky, Leon
People of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon and seldom drive business home to it's conclusion, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
Bacon, Francis
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Old age is the verdict of life.
Barr, Amelia E.
The older you get the stronger the wind gets -- and it's always in your face.
Nicklaus, Jack
O what a thing is age! Death without death's quiet.
Landor, Walter Savage
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Proverb, German
Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man --and after that, praying.
Proverb, Irish
Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
Defoe, Daniel
The misery of the middle-aged woman is a gray and hopeless thing, born of having nothing to live for, of disappointment and resentment at having been gypped by consumer society, and surviving merely to be the butt of its unthinking scorn.
Greer, Germaine
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'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Arden, Elizabeth
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.
A man has every season while a woman only has the right to spring. That disgusts me.
Fonda, Jane
How can I die? I'm booked.
Burns, George
Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese
Burke, Billie
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
Old age is like flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.
Meir, Golda
With care, and skill, and cunning art, She parried Time's malicious dart, And kept the years at bay, Till passion entered in her heart and aged her in a day!
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler
If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.
Sutzkever, Abraham
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
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James
Minds ripen at very different ages.
Montagu, Elizabeth
Nature should have been pleased to have made this age miserable, without making it also ridiculous.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
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
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
Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.
Rahel
Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.
Young, Edward
The outer passes away; the innermost is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Carlyle, Thomas
Old age is a shipwreck.
Gaulle, Charles De
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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
The old -- like children -- talk to themselves, for they have reached that hopeless wisdom of experience which knows that though one were to cry it in the streets to multitudes, or whisper it in the kiss to one's beloved, the only ears that can ever hear one's secrets are one's own!
O'Neill, Eugene
You are young at any age if you are planning for tomorrow.
To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps. You reach a snow-crowned summit, and see behind you the deep valley stretching miles and miles away, and before you other summits higher and whiter, which you may have strength to climb, or may not. Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
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
Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.
Woolf, Virginia
