Age Quotes
Age Quotes
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives.
Cato
Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.
Confucius
Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.
Dwight L. Moody
So people think I'm lying about my age all the time? It's the records that are wrong. I've never told anyone how old I am. The minute they ask me, I say 'That's none of your business.' So that means I've never once lied about my age. Now that's true!
Calista Flockhart
The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.

Joan Collins
The really frightening thing about middle age is the knowledge that you'll grow out of it.

Kurt Vonnegut
We pay when old for the excesses of youth.
