Quotes about age and aging
Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long. (Addison Joseph)
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy man has no time to form. (Addison Joseph)
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul. (Addison Joseph)
No gray hairs streak my soul, no grandfatherly fondness there! I shake the world with the might of my voice, and walk --handsome, twenty-two year old. (Addison Joseph)
Men of my age live in a state of continual desperation. (Addison Joseph)
If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life. (Addison Joseph)
Being seventy is not a sin. (Addison Joseph)
Old age is always wakeful; as if, the longer linked with life, the less man has to do with aught that looks like death. (Addison Joseph)
The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom. (Addison Joseph)
Not till the fire is dying in the grate, Look we for any kinship with the stars. Oh, wisdom never comes when it is gold, And the great price we paid for it full worth: We have it only when we are half earth. Little avails that coinage to the old! (Addison Joseph)
How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year! (Addison Joseph)
We are not limited by our old ages; we are liberate by it. (Addison Joseph)
Minds ripen at very different ages. (Addison Joseph)
Nature should have been pleased to have made this age miserable, without making it also ridiculous. (Addison Joseph)
Age imprints more wrinkles in the mind than it does on the face. (Addison Joseph)
Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age. (Addison Joseph)
When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory. (Addison Joseph)
How people keep correcting us when we are young! There is always some bad habit or other they tell us we ought to get over. Yet most bad habits are tools to help us through life. (Addison Joseph)
My generation, faced as it grew with a choice between religious belief and existential despair, chose marijuana. Now we are in our Cabernet stage. (Addison Joseph)
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea. (Addison Joseph)
Study until twenty five, investigate until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance. (Addison Joseph)
One of the most important phases of maturing is that of growth from self-centering to an understanding relationship to others. A person is not mature until he has both an ability and a willingness to see himself as one among others and to do unto those others as he would have them do to him. (Addison Joseph)
It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily. (Addison Joseph)
The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it. (Addison Joseph)
Live your life and forget your age. (Addison Joseph)

“I should start off by saying that I have a very deep affection for American Idol . It's a brilliant show, an absolute phenomenon in the history of television, and I'm not just saying that because they had me on as a guest judge and performer last year -- I truly enjoy the show and would watch it even if the contestants didn't sing my songs as part of the competition and keep my music in the minds of the record-buying public. Now, William Hung ... well, he's certainly no Clay Aiken, my all-time favorite American Idol participant for obvious reasons. But I have a special fondness for William, too -- after all, when I was starting out, people said I was funny-looking and couldn't sing. And even when I became a gigantic pop star in the '70s, I had nearly as many people who hated me as adored me, and let me tell you, a lot of people adored me! Now, could William have done a better job singing my song 'It's a Miracle,' which you can find on several of my Greatest Hits albums? Probably. But if he keeps at it despite what the millions of people who despise him think, then perhaps one day he, too, will sign an eight-year deal to entertain at the Las Vegas Hilton on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, two shows on Saturday, senior citizen and group discounts available.” (Barry Manilow) [start/absolute/phenomenon/television]
