Motivational Quotes
Age and aging
In a few days I'll have lived one score and three days in this vale of tears. On I plod --always bored, often drunk, doing no penance for my faults --rather do I become more tolerant of myself from day to day, hardening my crystal heart with blasphemous humor and shunning only toothpicks, pathos, and poverty as being the three unforgivable things in life.

Best Quotes about 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
While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
She was a handsome woman of forty-five and would remain so for many years.
Brookner, Anita
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
We pay when old for the excesses of youth.
Proverb
The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquillity of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever.
Marquis, Don
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.
It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can't know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do --after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world's anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.
Faulkner, William
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les
Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. [2 Corinthians 4:16]
Bible
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
Astaire, Fred
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
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
Pinero, Sir Arthur Wing
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
Ali, Muhammad
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Ullman, Samuel
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.
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
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Stael, Germaine De
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
Kollwitz, KaThe
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Swift, Jonathan
Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.
Harrison, Jane
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha
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
It is not how old you are, but how you are old.
Dressler, Marie
He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.
Herbert, George
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.
Johnson
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Buck, Pearl S.
We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man --and after that, praying.
Proverb, Irish
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.
Twain, Mark
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Jung, Carl
I am thirty-three -- the age of the good Sans-culotte Jesus; an age fatal to revolutionists.
Desmoulins, Camille
I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?
Byron, Lord
If the young knew and the old could, there is nothing that couldn't be done.
Proverb
Those who search beyond the natural limits will retain good hearing and clear vision, their bodies will remain light and strong, and although they grow old in years they will remain able-bodied and flourishing; and those who are able-bodied can govern to
Huang Ti
One of the most important phases of maturing is that of growth from self-centering to an understanding relationship to others. A person is not mature until he has both an ability and a willingness to see himself as one among others and to do unto those others as he would have them do to him.
Overstreet, Harry A.
Being seventy is not a sin.
Meir, Golda
Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.
Kanin, Garson
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
Carey, Joyce
I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.
Gabriel, Peter
What a man knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is for the most part incommunicable.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Arden, Elizabeth
The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Ball, Lucille
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Engel, Sigmund Z.
To me -- old age is always ten years older than I am.
Buruch, Andre B.
