Age Quotes

At a very early age I began to thump on the piano alone, and it was not long before I was able to pick out a few tunes? I also learned the names of the notes in both clefs, but I preferred not be hampered by notes Picture Quote #1

The age looks steadily to the redressing of wrong, to the righting of every form of error and injustice; and a tireless and prying philanthropy, which is almost omniscient, is one of the most hopeful characteristics of the time Picture Quote #1

When I was young, I used to have successes with women because I was young. Now I have successes with women because I am old. Middle age was the hardest part Picture Quote #1

Little girls, I am in the business of putting old heads on young shoulders, and all my pupils are the crème de la crème. Give me a girl at an impressionable age and she is mine for life Picture Quote #1

I think all this talk about age is foolish. Every time I’m one year older, everyone else is too Picture Quote #1

In the present age, alas! our pens are ravished by unlettered authors and unmannered critics, that make a havoc rather than a building, a wilderness rather than a garden. But, a lack! what boots it to drop tears upon the preterit? Picture Quote #1

I am not so weak as to submit to the demands of the age when they go against my convictions. I spin a cocoon around myself; let others do the same. I shall leave it to time to show what will come of it: a brilliant butterfly or maggot Picture Quote #1

The great difficulty is first to win a reputation; the next to keep it while you live; and the next to preserve it after you die, when affection and interest are over, and nothing but sterling excellence can preserve your name. Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence Picture Quote #1

Public opinion contains all kinds of falsity and truth, but it takes a great man to find the truth in it. The great man of the age is the one who can put into words the will of his age, tell his age what its will is, and accomplish it. What he does is the heart and the essence of his age, he actualizes his age. The man who lacks sense enough to despise public opinion expressed in gossip will never do anything great Picture Quote #1

There is a time of life somewhere between the sullen fugues of adolescence and the retrenchments of middle age when human nature becomes so absolutely absorbing one wants to be in the city constantly, even at the height of summer Picture Quote #1

The passion between the sexes has appeared in every age to be so nearly the same, that it may always be considered, in algebraic language as a given quantity Picture Quote #1

The truth is, I do indulge myself a little the more in pleasure, knowing that this is the proper age of my life to do it; and, out of my observation that most men that do thrive in the world do forget to take pleasure during the time that they are getting their estate, but reserve that till they have got one, and then it is too late for them to enjoy it Picture Quote #1

We achieve active mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age Picture Quote #1

Aging happy and well, instead of sad and sick, is at least under some personal control. We have considerable control over our weight, our exercise, our education, and our abuse of cigarettes and alcohol. With hard work and/or therapy, our relationships with our spouses and our coping styles can be changed for the better. A successful old age may lie not so much in our stars and genes as in ourselves Picture Quote #1

Our greatest prejudice is against death. It spans age, gender and race. We spend immeasurable amounts of energy fighting an event that will eventually triumph. Though it is noble not to give in easily, the most alive people I’ve ever met are those who embrace their death. They love, laugh and live more fully Picture Quote #1

Hence it is that old men do plant young trees, the fruit whereof another age shall take Picture Quote #1

Some one has said of a fine and honorable old age, that it was the childhood of immortality Picture Quote #1

Up to forty a woman has only forty springs in her heart. After that age she has only forty winters Picture Quote #1

What we sow in youth we reap in age; the seed of the thistle always produces the thistle Picture Quote #1

You do not play then at whist, sir? Alas, what a sad old age you are preparing for yourself! Picture Quote #1

Happily there exists more than one kind of beauty. There is the beauty of infancy, the beauty of youth, the beauty of maturity, and, believe me, ladies and gentlemen, the beauty of age Picture Quote #1

The subtle sauce of malice is often indulged in by maidens of uncertain age, over their tea Picture Quote #1

Losing my father at a tender age was extremely important in being able to accept what happened to me later when I became a quadriplegic Picture Quote #1

It’s possible that you have been told a time or 10 that you don’t appreciate how tough your elders had it. It’s true that, if you had been coming of age back in, say, 1960, you would probably be feeling more restricted, if only because you were doomed to spend your days in a skirt, nylon stockings and girdle Picture Quote #1

Most poetry in the modern age has retreated to the private sphere, turning its back on the political realm Picture Quote #1

Nobody really knows whether they are a poet. I knew I was interested from the age of 15 Picture Quote #1

One of the great challenges of our age, in which the tools of our productivity are also the tools of our leisure, is to figure out how to make more useful those moments of procrastination when we’re idling in front of our computer screens Picture Quote #1

For me, whatever age or size I’ve been, I have rather liked myself. The shell is not the thing at all Picture Quote #1

I knew at a young age, whether I was playing baseball or hockey or lacrosse, that my teammates were counting on me, whether it be to strike the last batter out in a baseball game or score a big goal in a hockey game Picture Quote #1

From an early age, I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn’t doing something creative Picture Quote #1
