Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
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.

2.
To me -- old age is always ten years older than I am.
Buruch, Andre B.

3.
The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years.
Chopra, Deepak

4.
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Stael, Germaine De

5.
Childhood itself is scarcely more lovely than a cheerful, kindly, sunshiny old age.
Child, Lydia M.

6.
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

7.
There are only three ages for women in Hollywood--Babe, District Attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy.
Hawn, Goldie

8.
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

9.
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives.
Chevalier, Maurice

10.
You are young at any age if you are planning for tomorrow.

11.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
Maugham, W. Somerset

12.
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

13.
You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
Palmer, Arnold

14.
Age is a matter of feeling, not of years.
Curtis, George William

15.
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.
Richter, Jean Paul

16.
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

17.
There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him.
Tholuck

18.
An old young man, will be a young old man.
Franklin, Benjamin

19.
I think in twenty years I'll be looked at like Bob Hope. Doing those president jokes and golf shit. It scares me.
Murphy, Eddie

20.
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

21.
I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.
Hershfield, Harry

22.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. [Job 12:12]
Bible

23.
Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.
Kanin, Garson

24.
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

25.
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.
Allen, Hervey

26.
At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.
Franklin, Benjamin

27.
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Schulz, Charles M.

28.
They are all gone into the world of light, and I alone sit lingering here.
Vaughan, Henry

29.
The short bloom of our brief and narrow life flies far away. While we are calling for flowers and wine and woman, old age is upon us.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

30.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
Ullman, Samuel

31.
The older you get the stronger the wind gets -- and it's always in your face.
Nicklaus, Jack

32.
We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

33.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

34.
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

35.
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

36.
The disappointment of manhood succeeds the delusion of youth.
Disraeli, Benjamin

37.
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
Maurois, Andre

38.
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

39.
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.

40.
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.
Hugo, Victor

41.
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom

42.
Age does not matter if the matter does not age.
Romulo, Carlos Pena

43.
To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

44.
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

45.
I will never give in to old age until I become old. And I'm not old yet!
Turner, Tina

46.
With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.
Thurber, James

47.
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

48.
I'm aiming by the time I'm fifty to stop being an adolescent.
Cope, Wendy

49.
I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.
Bleasdale, Alan

50.
Many foxes grow gray but few grow good.
Franklin, Benjamin
