Age and aging

At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.
- Woolf, Virginia
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
Ali, Muhammad

2.
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.

3.
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.

4.
O what a thing is age! Death without death's quiet.
Landor, Walter Savage

5.
The golden age is before us, not behind us.
Simon, St.

6.
Old things are always in good repute, present things in disfavor.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

7.
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

8.
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made.
Browning, Robert

9.
I'm 65 and I guess that puts me in with the geriatrics. But if there were fifteen months in every year, I'd only be 48. That's the trouble with us. We number everything. Take women, for example. I think they deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of 28 and 40.
Thurber, James

10.
Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years.
Wilde, Oscar

11.
Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.
Rahel

12.
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

13.
Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons.
Cass, Eli

14.
One of the aged greatest miseries is that they cannot easily find a companion able to share the memories of the past.
Johnson

15.
Except ye become as little children, except you can wake on your fiftieth birthday with the same forward-looking excitement and interest in life that you enjoyed when you were five, ye cannot enter the kingdom of God. One must not only die daily, but every day we must be born again.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

16.
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow up.
Edwards, Tryon

17.
A lady of a certain age, which means certainly aged.
Byron, Lord

18.
The surest sign of age is loneliness.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

19.
It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

20.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
Hope, Bob

21.
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

22.
Most people think that aging is irreversible and we know that there are mechanisms even in the human machinery that allow for the reversal of aging, through correction of diet, through anti-oxidants, through removal of toxins from the body, through exercise, through yoga and breathing techniques, and through meditation.
Chopra, Deepak

23.
Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.
Cato The Elder

24.
Age doesn't matter, unless you're cheese.
Burke, Billie

25.
No gray hairs streak my soul, no grandfatherly fondness there! I shake the world with the might of my voice, and walk --handsome, twenty-two year old.
Mayakovsky, Vladimir

26.
Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

27.
Minds ripen at very different ages.
Montagu, Elizabeth

28.
Thirty -- the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.

29.
Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult. [Reflecting on his former status as a teen idol]
Dillon, Matt

30.
Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.
Morgan, Arthur E.

31.
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

32.
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.

33.
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.
Cicero, Marcus T.

34.
Old age is like flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.
Meir, Golda

35.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Brown, Les

36.
Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
Stoppard, Tom

37.
The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
Colton, Charles Caleb

38.
The foolishness of old age does not characterize all who are old, but only the foolish.
Cicero, Marcus T.

39.
If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.
Sutzkever, Abraham

40.
No one is so old as to think he cannot live one more year.
Cicero, Marcus T.

41.
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

42.
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

43.
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

44.
To grow old is to grow common. 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.
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob

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

47.
Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man --and after that, praying.
Proverb, Irish

48.
Old age is a shipwreck.
Gaulle, Charles De

49.
Old age is the verdict of life.
Barr, Amelia E.

50.
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
