As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning.

Sunrise paints the sky with pinks and the sunset with peaches. Cool to warm. So is the progression from childhood to old age.

One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.

Everyone can be a leader irrespective of their age, race, creed, nationality or political affiliation. Once you can figure out your talents and optimize them very well, at the right place and at the right time, you are a leader.

The old me is younger than the new me, the me now.

Doesn’t seem quite real. It’s not meaningful. I can’t quite imagine myself being 73. That’s the age my father was! [Laughter.] How can I be his age? It’s weird.

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

About the only thing that comes to us without effort is old age.

Never make enemies of anyone younger or healthier than you are. They write your history.

Allan Emmanuelle Karlsson closed his eyes and felt perfectly convinced that he would now pass away for ever. It had been exciting, the entire journey, but nothing lasts for ever, except possibly general stupidity.

One Life With Many Names, Childhood, Boyhood, Manhood And Old, Then? Then! All Unknown, Uncertain Destination….

Wisdom comes through suffering or old age.

I am strongly of the opinion that, after the age of twenty-one, a man ought not to be out of bed and awake at four in the morning. The hour breeds thought. At twenty-one, life being all future, it may be examined with impunity. But, at thirty, having become an uncomfortable mixture of future and...

… forty’s nothing, at fifty you’re in your prime, sixty’s the new forty, and so on.

A face-lift is a woman’s attempt to lower the odds of the next person accurately guessing her age.

Dad, will they ever come back?””No. And yes.” Dad tucked away his harmonica. “No not them. But yes, other people like them. Not in a carnival. God knows what shape they’ll come in next. But sunrise, noon, or at the latest, sunset tomorrow they’ll show. They’re on the road.””Oh, no,” said Will.”Oh, yes, said Dad....

But there was a time when each of us stood naked before the world, confronting life as a serious problem with which we were intimately and passionately concerned. There was a time when it was of vital interest to us to find out whether there was a God or not. Obviously the existence or otherwise...

Even in your twenties you know how old you are. I’m twenty-three, you say, or maybe twenty-seven. But then in your thirties something strange starts to happen. It’s a mere hiccup at first, an instant of hesitation. How old are you? Oh, I’m – you start confidently, but then you stop. You were going to...

Kazu, now that she thought of it, realized that for all her headstrong temperament, she had never loved a man younger than herself. A young man has such a surplus of spiritual and physical gifts that he is likely to be cocksure of himself, particularly when dealing with an older woman, and there is no...

Old age ain’t no place for sissies.

Only Boiled Seeds are afraid of failure.

It’s not that I’m particularly worried about growing old. Nor am I all that bothered about wrinkles, grey hair and all that. BUT. Major but. I don’t like the idea of dying – not when i have so much left to do! That, people, is the rather unwelcome realisation that strikes me now and then,...

Age had drained the color from her eyes the way darkness drains the color from everything

I’ve always looked like this—in between. Is there ever an age when a person looks exactly like themselves?

She realizes she doesn’t know as much as God but feels she knows as much as God knew when he was her age.

I was seen spotted with an older woman and a girl half my height in age. A leopard was also spotted.

Tennis should be played with a canoe paddle. And 30-love isn’t just a score, it was my age and feeling. Hand me a creek, because my eyes are dry.

I’m 30-years-old, and I still can’t get out from under my father’s shadow. He’s really tall, so maybe I’ll just ask him to move over a few feet.

I had a dream about you. You made phone books for a living, and I filled up your pages by impregnating as many women as possible. You said I was a living saint, and I said I couldn’t argue with you there. It’s too bad I can’t get a tax write-off for providing such a...

I live 30 times faster and more intensely than most people, so every year is a whole generation for me. I’d like my combo meal with a side of long white beard, and I’d like it to go. Now, damnit! Fast food simply isn’t fast enough for me. I’m so quick that I need a...

Age is only a number. Keep an active life.

When Lytle was born, the Wright Brothers had not yet achieved a working design. When he died, Voyager 2 was exiting the solar system. What does one do with the coexistence of those details in a lifetime’s view? It weighed on him.

Since few people arrive at retirement with an understanding that this transition will involve a rethinking of who they are, an interim pattern has emerged, in which travel offers a way of fulfilling deferred daydreams of adventure while the next stage takes shape. [p. 31]

Things aren’t what they used to be’ is the rallying cry of small minds. When men say things used to be better, they invariably mean they were better for them, because they were young, and had all their hopes intact. The world is bound to look a darker place as you slide into the grave.

He felt, and not for the first time today, that he had not made a good decision in his personal or professional life since 1989.

I suppose that one’s years spent living do not reflect a measure of our souls or strength of character.

You know, sex at seventy-six is getting very dangerous for my health … since I live at seventy-nine!

Now, five years is nothing in a man’s life except when he is very young and very old…- Wang Lung

I believe that maturity is not an outgrowing, but a growing up: that an adult is not a dead child, but a child who survived. I believe that all the best faculties of a mature human being exist in the child. . . . that one of the most deeply human, and humane, of these...

People twenty-five and up just sat around waiting to die. That was what I’d thought.So while I was waiting to die, I looked at bras. The last thing on my mind was comfort. It seemed to be the last thing on Victoria’s Secret’s mind, too.

Now, how do the young prepare to meet the old? The same way the old prepare to meet the young: with a little condescension; with low expectation of the other’s rationality; with the knowledge that the other will find what they say hard to understand, that it will go beyond them (not so much over...

The most important principle for self discovery and to taste success is rather than changing other’s attitude changes your own. And always remember same sun which melts the butter also hardens the clay

Sometimes life is like living in a chamber of Liquid Oxygen. Liquid don’t allow you to live and Oxygen don’t let you die.

Growing age can kill the beauty, not the style.

Old age is not just for grown up’s

I’m gonna enjoy being old I think I’ll be awesome at it.

I do not think, sir, you have any right to command me, merely because you are older than I, or because you have seen more of the world than I have; your claim to superiority depends on the use you have made of your time and experience.

I don’t know what the old you was like, but the new you, the older you than the old you, is new and fresh.

Almost any age is better than twenty-two.
