AGE QUOTES PAGE(2)
I
don't think people should do things because you know, 'I am turning this age, I
must go have a husband.' If you find somebody and it works out then have kids,
it's very nice. But if you don't, you don't.
~Zaha
Hadid
Despite
what anti-aging ads say, growing older can be better. I feel better in my skin,
100 percent. You have greater effects of gravity, but the better sense of
yourself you have is something I wouldn't trade. Women who lie about their age
- 'why?'
~Demi
Moore
I
was drafted into the Army when I was 19 and came out at age 22. Most people
that I knew didn't think they'd come home alive. I didn't think I would either,
so I was happy when I did.
~Ed
Koch
I
am rediscovering the whole sexual dimension of life at the age of 86, really.
And that also means discovering the feminine. So the whole of this dimension,
which I had been seeking for a very long time, is now sort of opening itself up
to me.
~Bede
Griffiths
I
want to sell to people my own age, because that's the way I write songs.
~John
Mellencamp
Most
women are indulgent of themselves. This is a mistake. It should be only the
reward of old age.
~Anna
Held
At
the age of 12 I won the school prize for Best English Essay. The prize was a
copy of Somerset Maugham's 'Introduction To Modern English And American
Literature.' To this day I keep it on the shelf between my collection of
Forester's works and the little urn that contains my mother's ashes.
~Wilbur
Smith
We
hold that the most wonderful and splendid proof of genius is a great poem
produced in a civilized age.
~Thomas
B. Macaulay
Being
successful at a very young age gave me the confidence and the capability to try
out other things.
~Joshua
Lederberg
As
a father, I believe that involving children in sports at a young age is
generally, a wise proposition. I believe that healthy competition is... well...
healthy; that sporting events foster a spirit of teamwork that far surpasses
the events themselves; and that active participation keeps children moving and
is good for their self-esteem.
~Naveen
Jain
What
makes us a bit nervous is, in this instant age, to release something that might
take more than one listen. Where everything is instantly judged on YouTube or
something! It's a bit like releasing a horse and cart on a racetrack.
~Chris
Martin
The
culture of independent film criticism has totally gone down the drain and this
seems to come with the territory of the consumer age that we are now living in.
~Wim
Wenders
In a man's middle years there
is scarcely a part of the body he would hesitate to turn over to the proper
authorities.
~E.B. White
The years teach much which the days never knew.

Inflation is when you pay fifteen dollars for the ten-dollar haircut you used to get for five dollars when you had hair.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.

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

There is no pleasure worth forgoing just for an extra three years in the geriatric ward.

Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative.

Old Time, that greatest and longest established spinner of all!.... his factory is a secret place, his work is noiseless, and his hands are mutes.

Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.

A man's age is something impressive, it sums up his life: maturity reached slowly and against many obstacles, illnesses cured, griefs and despairs overcome, and unconscious risks taken; maturity formed through so many desires, hopes, regrets, forgotten things, loves. A man's age represents a fine cargo of experiences and memories.

Live as long as you may, the first twenty years are the longest half of your life.

A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?
