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

Best Quotes about Age and aging
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
Baruch, Bernard M.
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob
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
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
Old age though despised, is coveted by all.
Proverb
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
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
Life begins at 40 -- but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same person, three or four times.
Feather, William
I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.
Gabriel, Peter
Here, with whitened hair, desires failing, strength ebbing out of him, with the sun gone down and with only the serenity and the calm warning of the evening star left to him, he drank to Life, to all it had been, to what it was, to what it would be. Hurrah!
O'Casey, Sean
I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.
Bleasdale, Alan
It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
Beauvoir, Simone De
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom
How earthy old people become --moldy as the grave! Their wisdom smacks of the earth. There is no foretaste of immortality in it. They remind me of earthworms and mole crickets.
Thoreau, Henry David
While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.
The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.
Swift, Jonathan
At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he know he can't.
Darrow, Clarence
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
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
You end up as you deserve. In old age you must put up with the face, the friends, the health, and the children you have earned.
Weldon, Fay
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark
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
Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
Maugham, W. Somerset
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Stael, Germaine De
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
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
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.
Richter, Jean Paul
Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.
Rahel
He was then in his fifty-fourth year, when even in the case of poets reason and passion begin to discuss a peace treaty and usually conclude it not very long afterwards.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Arden, Elizabeth
An old young man, will be a young old man.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long life.
Auber, Daniel Francois Esprit
What's a man's age? He must hurry more, that's all; Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold.
Browning, Robert
How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
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
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
Growing old is not growing up.
Horton, Doug
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
At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
Woolf, Virginia
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
You can free yourself from aging by reinterpreting your body and by grasping the link between belief and biology.
Chopra, Deepak
Minds ripen at very different ages.
Montagu, Elizabeth
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
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
Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.
Young, Edward
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
Ullman, Samuel
I wasted time, and now time doth waste me.
Shakespeare, William
At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.
Franklin, Benjamin
