Mark Twain

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
 

Henry Ford

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
 

Satchel Paige

In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day’s long.  

Pope Paul VI

It takes a long time to become young.

Pablo Picaso

No man is ever old enough to know better.

Holbrook Jackson

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Samuel Ullman

Old age is no place for sissies.

Bette Davis

The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.

To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age.

Amos Bronson Alcott

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.

Kurt Vonnegut

We’ve put more effort into helping folks reach old age than into helping them enjoy it.

When you become senile, you won’t know it.

Bill Cosby

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.

Mark Twain

Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.

George Bernard Shaw

Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.

Stanislaw Lec

Wisdom doesn’t automatically come with old age. Nothing does – except wrinkles. It’s true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place.

Abigail Van Buren

Keep true to the dreams of thy youth.

Friedrich von Shiller

Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.

In youth we learn; in age we understand.

Marie Ebner von Eschenbach

We have some salt of our youth in us.

William Shakespeare

We must wait until the evening to see how splendid the day had been.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Thomas Arnold

We neither get better or worse as we get older, but more like ourselves.

In old age we are like a batch of letters that someone has sent. We are no longer in the past, we have arrived.

Knut Hamsun

No one is so old that he cannot live yet another year, nor so young that he cannot die today.

Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young. Arthur Wing Pinero

You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older.

Anouk Aimee
