Age Quotes

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

Old age is, so to speak, the sanctuary of ills: They all take refuge in it Picture Quote #1

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

It is more profitable to be mindful of our own faults than of those of our age Picture Quote #1

I’ve told so many lies about my age I don’t know how old I am myself Picture Quote #1

I never feel age... If you have creative work, you don’t have age or time Picture Quote #1

Oh sir! I must not tell my age. They say women and music should never be dated 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

See how the world its veterans rewards! A youth of frolics, an old age of cards 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

I know of nothing more laughable than a doctor who does not die of old age 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

Even truth needs to be clad in new garments if it is to appeal to a new age Picture Quote #1

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

You cannot call it love, for at your age the heyday in the blood is tame Picture Quote #1

Inside the time bubble we do not age. We age only when we are outside of it Picture Quote #1

There never was such an age in which so many people were able to write badly Picture Quote #1

Anyone at any age is able to tell the story of his or her life with authority Picture Quote #1

People remind me of my age, but while practicing I am beyond my body and its age Picture Quote #1

Middle age is when anything new in the way you feel is most likely a symptom Picture Quote #1
