Best Quotes about Age and aging
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
Middle Age is that perplexing time of life when we hear two voices calling us, one saying, Why not? and the other, Why bother?
Harris, Sidney J.
I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!
Turner, Tina
In my twenties, my pleasures tended to be physical. In my thirties, my pleasures tended to be intellectual. I can't say which was more exquisite.
Kangas, Steve
Now that I am sixty, I see why the idea of elder wisdom has passed from currency.
Updike, John
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Einstein, Albert
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.
Of all the barbarous middle ages, that which is most barbarous is the middle age of man! it is -- I really scarce know what; but when we hover between fool and sage, and don't know justly what we would be at -- a period something like a printed page, black letter upon foolscap, while our hair grows grizzled, and we are not what we were.
Byron, Lord
If youth knew; if age could.
Estienne, Henri
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Swift, Jonathan
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
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have; the older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Christie, Agatha
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
Someday you will read in the papers that Moody is dead. Don't you believe a word of it. At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I was born of the flesh in 1837, I was born of the spirit in 1855. That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit shall live forever.
Moody, Dwight L.
If you're starting to look wrinkled, don't worry. It covers the scars.
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
I'm aiming by the time I'm fifty to stop being an adolescent.
Cope, Wendy
The woman who tells her age is either too young to have anything to lose or too old to have anything to gain.
Proverb, Chinese
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
Brown, Rita Mae
The surest sign of age is loneliness.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart.
Steele, Sir Richard
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas
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
We are not limited by our old ages; we are liberate by it.
Mittleman, Stu
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Proverb, German
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
Growing old is not growing up.
Horton, Doug
Age carries all things away, even the mind.
Virgil
Old age is the verdict of life.
Barr, Amelia E.
Age. That period of life in which we compound for the vices that remain by reviling those we have no longer the vigor to commit.
Bierce, Ambrose
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James
The tendency of old age to the body, say the physiologists, is to form bone. It is as rare as it is pleasant to meet with an old man whose opinions are not ossified.
Boyse, J. F.
The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
Colton, Charles Caleb
For in all the world there are no people so piteous and forlorn as those who are forced to eat the bitter bread of dependency in their old age, and find how steep are the stairs of another man's house. Wherever they go they know themselves unwelcome. Wherever they are, they feel themselves a burden. There is no humiliation of the spirit they are not forced to endure. Their hearts are scarred all over with the stabs from cruel and callous speeches.
Dix, Dorothy
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.
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
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca
An important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
Kollwitz, KaThe
Minds ripen at very different ages.
Montagu, Elizabeth
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
They are all gone into the world of light, and I alone sit lingering here.
Vaughan, Henry
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
Ali, Muhammad
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Schulz, Charles M.
O what a thing is age! Death without death's quiet.
Landor, Walter Savage
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
Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. If we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old.
Edwards, Tryon
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.
I have lived long enough. My way of life is to fall into the sere, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends I must not look to have.
Shakespeare, William
I don't generally feel anything until noon, then it's time for my nap.
Hope, Bob
