Age and aging

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
Age and aging Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Age and aging

1.
Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.
Carlyle, Thomas

2.
Seek ye counsel of the aged for their eyes have looked on the faces of the years and their ears have hardened to the voices of Life. Even if their counsel is displeasing to you, pay heed to them.
Gibran, Kahlil

3.
Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.
Cato The Elder

4.
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

5.
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

6.
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often, but I'm well preserved.
Kennedy, Rose F.

7.
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.

8.
Getting older is like riding a bicycle, if you don't keep pedalling, you'll fall.
Pepper, Claude D.

9.
As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.
Hemingway, Ernest

10.
I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime.
Wilde, Oscar

11.
Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
Richards, Keith

12.
An old-timer is one who remembers when it cost more to run a car than to park it.

13.
Old age adds to the respect due to virtue, but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired by vice; it whitens only the hair.
Senn, J. P.

14.
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

15.
We grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more like ourselves.
Becker, May L.

16.
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.

17.
That man never grows old who keeps a child in his heart.
Steele, Sir Richard

18.
Not till the fire is dying in the grate, Look we for any kinship with the stars. Oh, wisdom never comes when it is gold, And the great price we paid for it full worth: We have it only when we are half earth. Little avails that coinage to the old!
Meredith, George

19.
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

20.
When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.
Mortimer, John

21.
Many foxes grow gray but few grow good.
Franklin, Benjamin

22.
At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.
Franklin, Benjamin

23.
There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.
Wharton, Edith

24.
I have lived long enough. My way of life is to fall into the sere, the yellow leaf, and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends I must not look to have.
Shakespeare, William

25.
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
Swift, Jonathan

26.
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
Carey, Joyce

27.
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

28.
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

29.
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

30.
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.

31.
I married an archaeologist because the older I grow, the more he appreciates me.
Christie, Agatha

32.
Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
Kuhn, Maggie

33.
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

34.
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

35.
The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

36.
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
Paul, Jean

37.
While we look not a that things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. [2 Corinthians 4:18]
Bible

38.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
Wordsworth, William

39.
With care, and skill, and cunning art, She parried Time's malicious dart, And kept the years at bay, Till passion entered in her heart and aged her in a day!
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler

40.
We lose our hair, our teeth! Our bloom, our ideals.
Beckett, Samuel

41.
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

42.
Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.
Marx, Groucho

43.
Age carries all things away, even the mind.
Virgil

44.
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

45.
Don't just count your years, make your years count.
Meyers, Ernest

46.
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

47.
The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.
Thoreau, Henry David

48.
An aged Christian, with the snow of time upon his head, may remind us that those points of earth are whitest which are nearest to heaven.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

49.
Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild; twenty years a mature man --and after that, praying.
Proverb, Irish

50.
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
