Best Quotes about Age and aging
Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
Maugham, W. Somerset
We pay when old for the excesses of youth.
Proverb
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
Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese
Burke, Billie
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
Old things are always in good repute, present things in disfavor.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
In middle life, the human back is spoiling for a technical knockout and will use the flimsiest excuse, even a sneeze, to fall apart.
White, Elwyn Brooks
O what a thing is age! Death without death's quiet.
Landor, Walter Savage
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)
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca
For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
Kollwitz, KaThe
Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
Kuhn, Maggie
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
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
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
Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.
Pope, Alexander
The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
Colton, Charles Caleb
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.
To be happy, we must be true to nature, and carry our age along with us.
Hazlitt, William
One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.
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
A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. I reckon, he said, with a twinkle in his eye,it because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up and worried.
Kent, Dorothea
My time has been passed viciously and agreeably; at thirty-one so few years months days hours or minutes remain that Carpe Diem is not enough. I have been obliged to crop even the seconds -- for who can trust to tomorrow?
Byron, Lord
Youth is a blunder, manhood is a struggle and old age a regret.
Disraeli, Benjamin
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
Age considers; youth ventures.
Raupach
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
It's good to be here. At 98, it's good to be anywhere.
Burns, George
At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths --your abilities and your failings.
Depardieu, Gerard
Methuselah lived to be 969 years old . You boys and girls will see more in the next fifty years than Methuselah saw in his whole lifetime.
Twain, Mark
Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty; for in my youth I never did apply hot and rebellious liquors in my blood; and did not, with unbashful forehead, woo the means of weakness and debility: therefore my age is as a lusty winter, frosty but kindly.
Shakespeare, William
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
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
It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily.
Palmer, R.
Age should not have its face lifted, but it should rather teach the world to admire wrinkles as the etchings of experience and the firm line of character.
Perry, Ralph B.
Age does not matter if the matter does not age.
Romulo, Carlos Pena
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.
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
Hope, Bob
The misery of the middle-aged woman is a gray and hopeless thing, born of having nothing to live for, of disappointment and resentment at having been gypped by consumer society, and surviving merely to be the butt of its unthinking scorn.
Greer, Germaine
Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
Eliot, George
When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
Stone, I. F.
A woman past forty should make up her mind to be young; not her face.
Burke, Billie
The disappointment of manhood succeeds the delusion of youth.
Disraeli, Benjamin
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
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
Collins, Mortimer
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm
Thoreau, Henry David
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
Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.
Brown, Captain J.
