Age and aging

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
- Ullman, Samuel
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
A man is not old as long as he is seeking something.
Rostand, Jean

2.
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

3.
Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
Richards, Keith

4.
Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.
Marx, Groucho

5.
Many foxes grow gray but few grow good.
Franklin, Benjamin

6.
Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

7.
The disappointment of manhood succeeds the delusion of youth.
Disraeli, Benjamin

8.
Age does not matter if the matter does not age.
Romulo, Carlos Pena

9.
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

10.
There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him.
Tholuck

11.
Age is a matter of feeling, not of years.
Curtis, George William

12.
At last now you can be what the old cannot recall and the young long for in dreams, yet still include them all.
Jennings, Elizabeth

13.
A lady of a certain age, which means certainly aged.
Byron, Lord

14.
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

15.
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

16.
Every man who has lived for fifty years has buried a whole world or even two; he has grown used to its disappearance and accustomed to the new scenery of another act: but suddenly the names and faces of a time long dead appear more and more often on his way, calling up series of shades and pictures kept somewhere, just in case, in the endless catacombs of the memory, making him smile or sigh, and sometimes almost weep.
Herzen, Alexander

17.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William

18.
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

19.
Childhood itself is scarcely more lovely than a cheerful, kindly, sunshiny old age.
Child, Lydia M.

20.
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

21.
If youth knew; if age could.
Estienne, Henri

22.
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

23.
How can I die? I'm booked.
Burns, George

24.
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age.
Einstein, Albert

25.
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

26.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. [Job 12:12]
Bible

27.
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

28.
The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
Lerner, Max

29.
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

30.
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.

31.
Age carries all things away, even the mind.
Virgil

32.
At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
Woolf, Virginia

33.
How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

34.
It takes a long time to become young.
Picasso, Pablo

35.
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.

36.
Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty; for in my youth I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood; and did not, with unbashful forehead, woo the means of weakness and debility: therefore my age is as a lusty winter, frosty but kindly.
Shakespeare, William

37.
He is so old that his blood type was discontinued.
Dana, Bill

38.
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.

39.
No one grows old by living. Only by losing interest in living.
Ray, Marie Beyon

40.
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
Pinero, Sir Arthur Wing

41.
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
Collins, Mortimer

42.
We lose our hair, our teeth! Our bloom, our ideals.
Beckett, Samuel

43.
The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

44.
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Astaire, Fred

45.
Now that I am sixty, I see why the idea of elder wisdom has passed from currency.
Updike, John

46.
It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.

47.
These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in aging. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism.
Woolf, Virginia

48.
I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.
Bleasdale, Alan

49.
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

50.
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.
