Old Man Quotes

How little we know of what there is to know. I wish that I were going to live a long time instead of going to die today because I have learned much about life in these four days; more, I think than in all other time. I’d like to be an old man to really know. I wonder if you keep on learning or if there is only a certain amount each man can understand. I thought I knew so many things that I know nothing of. I wish there was more time Picture Quote #1

I am an orphan, alone: nevertheless I am found everywhere. I am one, but opposed to myself. I am youth and old man at one and the same time. I have known neither father nor mother, because I have had to be fetched out of the deep like a fish, or fell like a white stone from heaven. In woods and mountains I roam, but I am hidden in the innermost soul of man. I am mortal for everyone, yet I am not touched by the cycle of aeons Picture Quote #1

What do you really want to know? Am I sorry for what I did? There’s not a day goes by I don’t feel regret. Not because I’m in here, but because you think I should be. I look back on the way I was. A young, stupid kid that committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him. Tell him the way things are. But I can’t. That kid’s long gone, and this old man is all that’s left Picture Quote #1

Believe not because some old manuscripts are produced, believe not because it is your national belief, believe not because you have been made to believe from you childhood, but reason truth out, and after you have analyzed it, then if you find it will do good to one and all, believe it, live up to it and help others live up to it Picture Quote #1

From the simplest lyric to the most complex novel and densest drama, literature is asking us to pay attention. Pay attention to the frog. Pay attention to the west wind. Pay attention to the boy on the raft, the lady in the tower, the old man on the train. In sum, pay attention to the world and all that dwells therein and thereby learn at last to pay attention to yourself and all that dwells therein Picture Quote #1

You may say that I am just another outdated old man complaining about progress and the changes of time. But, you see, I have well considered that possibility myself, and am prepared o submit to correction by anybody who cares about a community, who can show me how the world is improved by that community’s dying Picture Quote #1

It is not the young man who should be considered fortunate but the old man who has lived well, because the young man in his prime wanders much by chance, vacillating in his beliefs, while the old man has docked in the harbor, having safeguarded his true happiness Picture Quote #1

I am perhaps the oldest musician in the world. I am an old man but in many senses a very young man. And this is what I want you to be, young, young all your life, and to say things to the world that are true Picture Quote #1

And if these be unprincipled agents who scruple at nothing, he will be a bold man who will deny that there are always to be found men at the bar who lend their services most cordially to back and support these agents in their most desperate cases Picture Quote #1

It really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself on screen. I think of myself, and feel like I’m quite young, and then I look at this old man with the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding hairline and all that Picture Quote #1

I think sir, since you care for the advice of an old man, sir, you will find it a very good practise, always to verify your references, sir! Picture Quote #1

You know, I don’t mind dying. The thing that pisses me off is that I won’t get to be an old man. I was looking forward to that Picture Quote #1

Age is my alarm clock, the old man said. why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day? I don’t know, the boy said. all I know is that young boys sleep late and hard Picture Quote #1

Don’t ever think the poetry is dead in an old man because his forehead is wrinkled, or that his manhood has left him when his hand trembles! If they ever were there, they are there still! Picture Quote #1

Our tastes greatly alter. The lad does not care for the child’s rattle, and the old man does not care for the young man’s whore Picture Quote #1

Be for ever a student. He and he alone is an old man who feels that he has learnt enough and has need for no more knowledge Picture Quote #1

There is nothing against which an old man should be so much upon his guard as putting himself to nurse Picture Quote #1

An old man in his rudiments is a disgraceful object. It is for youth to acquire, and for age to apply Picture Quote #1

How much greater confidence has an advocate, retained with a large fee, in the justice of his cause! How much better does his bold manner make his case appear to the judges, deceived as they are by appearances! How ludicrous is reason, blown with a breath in every direction! Picture Quote #1

My old man says when it’s time to be counted, the important thing is to be man enough to stand up Picture Quote #1
