Quotes about age and aging
Youth is a blunder, manhood is a struggle and old age a regret. (Addison Joseph)
By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves. (Addison Joseph)
It is not how old you are, but how you are old. (Addison Joseph)
Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. If we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old. (Addison Joseph)
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow up. (Addison Joseph)
Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem -- in my opinion -- to characterize our age. (Addison Joseph)
In the multitude of middle-aged men who go about their vocations in a daily course determined for them much in the same way as the tie of their cravats, there is always a good number who once meant to shape their own deeds and alter the world a little. (Addison Joseph)
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. (Addison Joseph)
The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down. (Addison Joseph)
Nature is full of freaks, and now puts an old head on young shoulders, and then takes a young heart heating under fourscore winters. (Addison Joseph)
The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death. (Addison Joseph)
If youth knew; if age could. (Addison Joseph)
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. (Addison Joseph)
A man has every season while a woman only has the right to spring. That disgusts me. (Addison Joseph)
Many foxes grow gray but few grow good. (Addison Joseph)
At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment. (Addison Joseph)
An old young man, will be a young old man. (Addison Joseph)
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young. (Addison Joseph)
An important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility. (Addison Joseph)
If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old. (Addison Joseph)
Old age is a shipwreck. (Addison Joseph)
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. (Addison Joseph)
Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children. (Addison Joseph)
We must not take the faults of our youth with us into old age, for age brings along its own defects. (Addison Joseph)
The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active. (Addison Joseph)
