Old Age Quotes

Youth is the time of getting, middle age of improving, and old age of spending; a negligent youth is usually attended by an ignorant middle age, and both by an empty old age Picture Quote #1

We retire too early and we die too young, our prime of life should be in the 70’s and old age should not come until we are almost 100 Picture Quote #1

After a stronghold has been made of the bones, it is covered with flesh and blood, and there dwell in it old age and death, pride and deceit Picture Quote #1

Very odd, old age. Always knew it would happen, if I was lucky. I just didn’t expect it so soon Picture Quote #1

Herein lies the real value of education. Advanced education may or may not make men and women more efficient; but it enriches personality, increases the wealth of the mind, and hence brings happiness. It is the finest insurance against old age, against the growth of physical disability, against the lack and loss of animal delights. How essential it is, then, in youth to acquire some intellectual or artistic tastes, in order to furnish the mind, to be able to live inside a mind with attractive and interesting pictures on the walls Picture Quote #1

Youth is when you think you’ll live forever. Old age is when you wonder how you’ve lived so long Picture Quote #1

Few ever lived to old age, and fewer still ever became distinguished, who were not in the habit of early rising Picture Quote #1

Wearing glasses for reading meant surrendering to old age without the least bit of a fight Picture Quote #1

Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age; and if you understand that old age has wisdom for its food, you will so conduct yourself in youth that your old age will not lack for nourishment Picture Quote #1

That’s the purpose of old age... To give us a breathing space before we die, in which to see why we did what we did Picture Quote #1

Some individuals may perceive their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back, others as the unflattering contour of their body, others as constant fatigue, yet others as an unrelentingly threatening environment. Those over forty may call it old age. And yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem so prominent in their own structure, as well as others, that it has been ignored: they are off balance, they are at war with gravity Picture Quote #1

I don’t know what’s happened to me. I’ve got a bit more sophisticated in my old age. I like a bit of jasmine tea. I love it Picture Quote #1

One good reason for writing novels based on your life is that you have something to read in old age when you’ve forgotten what happened Picture Quote #1

We think in youth that our bodies are identical to ourselves and have the same interests, but discover later in life that they are heartless companions who have been accidentally yoked with us, and who are as likely as not, in our extreme sickness or old age, to treat us with less mercy than we would have received at the hands of the worst bandits Picture Quote #1

It is perhaps life’s greatest accomplishment to live to old age, maintaining one’s wits, one’s sense of humor, one’s health, and one’s charm Picture Quote #1

For a moment man is a boy, for a moment a lovesick youth, for a moment bereft of wealth, for a moment in the height of prosperity; then at life’s end with limbs worn out by old age and wrinkles adorning his face, like an actor he retires behind the curtain of death Picture Quote #1

After the age of 50 we begin to die little by little in the deaths of others Picture Quote #1

I have a fear of poverty in old age. I have this vision of myself living in a skip and eating cat food. It’s because I’m freelance, and I’ve never had a proper job. I don’t have a pension, and my savings are dwindling. I always thought someone would just come along and look after me Picture Quote #1

I am involved in a lot of nonprofits. And when I reached the ripe old age of 60, I wanted to provide leadership to some I had been involved in Picture Quote #1

Even the rich aren’t often happy. Their wealth is at best only a temporary distraction. It doesn’t make them immune to emotional and mental suffering, or to disease and death. They too must deal with loneliness, the deaths of loved ones and the frustrations and boredom of old age Picture Quote #1

Do not shorten the morning by getting up late, or waste it in unworthy occupations or in talk; look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred. Evening is like old age: we are languid, talkative, silly. Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death Picture Quote #1

There’s no such thing as old age. I’m no different now than I was 50 years ago. I’m just having more fun Picture Quote #1

Every period of life has its peculiar prejudices; whoever saw old age, that did not applaud the past, and condemn the present times? Picture Quote #1

Is suffering so very serious?...I’m referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It’s extremely painful... hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain... is no more worthy of respect than old age or illness Picture Quote #1

Artists of all sorts remain youthful for so long, and in many cases attain a grand old age. The explanation is that they live in an almost permanent condition of stimulation and excitement Picture Quote #1

Do not go gentle into the good night. Old age should burn and rage at close of day Picture Quote #1

I think old age is in each one’s head; so if you’re happy doing what you love, you’re going to be young Picture Quote #1

Next to the young, I suppose the very old are the most selfish. Alas, the heart hardens as the blood ceases to run. The cold snow strikes down from the head, and checks the glow of feeling. Who wants to survive into old age after abdicating all his faculties one by one, and be sans teeth, sans eyes, sans memory, sans hope, sans sympathy? Picture Quote #1

The world’s oldest woman passed away at 116. They keep dying. I think that title may be cursed Picture Quote #1

Old men’s eyes are like old men’s memories; they are strongest for things a long way off Picture Quote #1
