Motivational Quotes

Age and aging

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
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.
Young, Edward

2.
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

3.
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

4.
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Astaire, Fred

5.
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Arden, Elizabeth

6.
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

7.
The surest sign of age is loneliness.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

8.
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.

9.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset

10.
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
Cicero, Marcus T.

11.
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.

12.
The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.
Swift, Jonathan

13.
It was one of the deadliest and heaviest feelings of my life to feel that I was no longer a boy. From that moment I began to grow old in my own esteem --and in my esteem age is not estimable.
Byron, Lord

14.
The foolishness of old age does not characterize all who are old, but only the foolish.
Cicero, Marcus T.

15.
No one grows old by living. Only by losing interest in living.
Ray, Marie Beyon

16.
There is no one so old as to not think they may live a day longer.
Cicero, Marcus T.

17.
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.

18.
Old age, especially an honored old age, has so great authority, that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.
Cicero, Marcus T.

19.
To be happy, we must be true to nature, and carry our age along with us.
Hazlitt, William

20.
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel

21.
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Jung, Carl

22.
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

23.
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.

24.
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm
Thoreau, Henry David

25.
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
Brown, Captain J.

26.
The outer passes away; the innermost is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Carlyle, Thomas

27.
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

28.
Old age is the verdict of life.
Barr, Amelia E.

29.
Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

30.
Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
Richards, Keith

31.
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

32.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

33.
Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long life.
Auber, Daniel Francois Esprit

34.
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow up.
Edwards, Tryon

35.
If youth knew; if age could.
Estienne, Henri

36.
A man is not old as long as he is seeking something.
Rostand, Jean

37.
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.

38.
In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.
Panin, Nikita Ivanovich

39.
It really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself on-screen. I think of myself, and feel like I'm quite young, and then I look at this old man with the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding hairline and all that.
Hackman, Gene

40.
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark

41.
Thirty -- the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.

42.
It is not all bad, this getting old, ripening. After the fruit has got its growth it should juice up and mellow. God forbid I should live long enough to ferment and rot and fall to the ground in a squash.
Carr, Emily

43.
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Swift, Jonathan

44.
While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

45.
I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
Eliot, T. S.

46.
Being seventy is not a sin.
Meir, Golda

47.
A woman past forty should make up her mind to be young; not her face.
Burke, Billie

48.
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
Carey, Joyce

49.
The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

50.
To me -- old age is always ten years older than I am.
Buruch, Andre B.
