Age Quotes

This is a hurried age we’re living in. If you’ve got anything to say, say it quickly, get to the point and stop, and give the other man a chance to talk Picture Quote #1

Most of us are taught from an early age to pay far more attention to signals coming from other people than from within. We are encouraged to ignore our own needs and wants and to concentrate on living up to others expectations Picture Quote #1

Wherever you are, at whatever age, you’re only a thought away from changing your life Picture Quote #1

As you get older, you have your tribe of women that you grow and age gracefully with and you share wisdom with. That’s your clan. That’s your family. That’s your strength Picture Quote #1

Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example? Picture Quote #1

I think the sport of wrestling, which I became involved with at the age of 14... I competed until I was 34, kind of old for a contact sport. I coached the sport until I was 47. I think the discipline of wrestling has given me the discipline I have to write Picture Quote #1

Beauty commonly produces love, but cleanliness preserves it. Age itself is not unamiable while it is preserved clean and unsullied; like a piece of metal constantly kept smooth and bright, we look on it with more pleasure than on a new vessel cankered with rust Picture Quote #1

The children of the nuclear age, I think, were weakened in their capacity to love. Hard to love, when you’re bracing yourself for impact. Hard to love, when the loved one, and the lover, might at any instant become blood and flames, along with everybody else Picture Quote #1

So much working, reading, thinking, living to do. A lifetime is not long enough. Nor youth to old age long enough. Immortality and permanence be damned. Sure I want them, but they are nonexistent, and won’t matter when I rot underground. All I want to say is: I made the best of a mediocre job. It was a good fight while it lasted. And so life goes Picture Quote #1

In an age when nations and individuals routinely exchange murder for murder, when the healing grace of authentic spirituality is usurped by the divisive politics of religious organizations, and when broken hearts bleed pain in darkness without the relief of compassion, the voice of an exceptional poet producing exceptional work is not something the world can afford to dismiss Picture Quote #1

All parts of the body which have a function, if used in moderation and exercised in labors in which each is accustomed, become thereby healthy, well developed and age more slowly, but if unused they become liable to disease, defective in growth and age quickly Picture Quote #1

The monkish vows keep us far from that sink of vice that is the female body, but often they bring us close to other errors. Can I finally hide from myself the fact that even today my old age is still stirred by the noonday demon when my eyes, in choir, happen to linger on the beardless face of a novice, pure and fresh as a maidens? Picture Quote #1

My goal was not to have huge luxuries. As a child, I wanted a house with a garden, which I have today. This is what I dreamed of. I’d never worry about age if I knew I could go on being loved and having the possibility to love... So it isn’t age or even death that one fears, as much as loneliness and the lack of affection Picture Quote #1

Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life Picture Quote #1

Every age has its peculiar folly: Some scheme, project, or fantasy into which it plunges, spurred on by the love of gain, the necessity of excitement, or the force of imitation Picture Quote #1

No humane being, past the thoughtless age of boyhood, will wantonly murder any creature which holds its life by the same tenure that he does Picture Quote #1

Discern of the coming on of years, and think not to do the same things still; for age will not be defied Picture Quote #1

We hear the haunting presentiment of a dutiful middle age in the current reluctance of young people to select any option except the one they feel will impinge upon them the least Picture Quote #1

The besetting evil of our age is the temptation to squander and dilute thought on a thousand different lines of inquiry Picture Quote #1

I came of age believing that, no matter what happened, I would always be able to support myself Picture Quote #1

After an age of leaves and feathers someone dead thought of the mountain as money and cut the trees that were here and the wind and the rain at night. It is hard to say it Picture Quote #1

My mother is going to have to stop lying about her age because pretty soon I’m going to be older than she is Picture Quote #1

Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem Picture Quote #1

Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons Picture Quote #1

But I think it’s a little different in Europe, because 40 is really the best age for a woman. That’s when we hit our peak and become this ripe fruit Picture Quote #1

I have always paid income tax. I object only when it reaches a stage when I am threatened with having nothing left for my old age - which is due to start next Tuesday or Wednesday Picture Quote #1

I was taught from a young age that many people would treat me as a second-class citizen because I was African-American and because I was female Picture Quote #1

It’s a good thing Winston Churchill was around before the shallow age of television. He might never have become one of the greatest leaders of all time Picture Quote #1

If you grow up in the suburbs, you hear of people dying of old age, car wrecks, cancer. In the city, it’s always people dying of violence or stray bullets Picture Quote #1

Age is just a number and if two people like each other nothing should stop them from being together Picture Quote #1
