I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.
It’s sad, actually, because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age.
This age thinks better of a gilded fool Than of a threadbare saint in wisdom’s school.
My father… removed from Kentucky to… Indiana, in my eighth year… It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up… Of course when I came of age, I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher… but that was all.
I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can’t deal with a woman of their own age.
Canada has a passive-aggressive culture, with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.
When I passed the age of 50, I learned how to control my emotions.
Some age, others mature.
Lack of education, old age, bad health or discrimination – these are causes of poverty, and the way to attack it is to go to the root.
The most audacious thing I could possibly state in this day and age is that life is worth living. It’s worth being bashed against. It’s worth getting scarred by. It’s worth pouring yourself over every one of its coals.
Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.
When I was 16, I got ‘Jamon, Jamon.’ Of course, I had to lie about my age. And I had to lie to my parents about the content of the script.
Young people are narcissistic. They become less narcissistic as they age, but they become crankier about younger people being narcissistic.
I grew up in the age of polyester. When I got to touch real silk, cotton and velvet, the feel of nonsynthetic fabrics blew me away. I know it’s important how clothing looks, but it’s equally important how it feels on your skin.
The three ages of man: youth, middle age and ‘my word you do look well’.
I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you’re in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s.
People in love don’t see gender, colour or religion. Or age. It’s about the other person, the one that you love and who loves you. You don’t think of them in terms of a label. You just go with your heart.
We all wish to reach a ripe old age, but none of us are prepared to admit that we are already there.

Filth and old age, I’m sure you will agree, are powerful wardens upon chastity.
There are some men who lift the age they inhabit, till all men walk on higher ground in that lifetime.
I’m a pretty agile guy, especially being taller and having done martial arts from about the age of 13, but parkour is one of those sports that I wish I’d discovered sooner. When my nephew first showed me, I thought, ‘Damn – I’m too old for this.’
Each moment of a happy lover’s hour is worth an age of dull and common life.
The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.
I’m 16, and I’m still self-conscious. Everyone is at this age.
We live in an age when the traditional great subjects – the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism – are daily devalued by commercial art.
Bring a wife home to your house when you are of the right age, not far short of 30 years, nor much above; this is the right time for marriage.
Robots will harvest, cook, and serve our food. They will work in our factories, drive our cars, and walk our dogs. Like it or not, the age of work is coming to an end.
I think the thing I miss most in our age is our manners. It sounds so old-fashioned in a way. But even bad people had good manners in the old days, and manners hold a community together, and manners hold a family together; in a way, they hold the world together.
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.
You can fake your age or mask it, but the passion that moves the characters has to be real.
For many people, the age of 20 is when they first reach adulthood, and it’s a time full of ideals and dreams. But when I was 20, a lot of misfortune came along. I spent a year in the hospital and couldn’t move, and I was forced to think a lot.
It is the spirit of the age to believe that any fact, no matter how suspect, is superior to any imaginative exercise, no matter how true.
It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life’s parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
We are the children of a technological age. We have found streamlined ways of doing much of our routine work. Printing is no longer the only way of reproducing books. Reading them, however, has not changed.
When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice. Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Whatever poet, orator or sage may say of it, old age is still old age.
The age of a woman doesn’t mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
If I could have gone on describing to you the beauties of this region, who knows but I might have made a fine addition to the literature of our age?
Leadership in telecommunications is also essential, since we are now in the age of e-commerce.
From a very young age, as a teenager, I was into hip-hop and skateboarding and all those things that were akin to a kid in the ’90s. All those things are what resulted in clothes.

There is an anti-aging possibility, but it has to come from within.
Age is inevitable. Aging isn’t.
Old age is no place for sissies.
We pay when old for the excesses of youth.
I grew up going to a school where there weren’t a lot of black kids. And so my mother, from a very, very young age, has sensitized me to race.
I’ve been going through photos of my mother, looking back on her life and trying to put it into context. Very few people age gracefully enough to be photographed through their aging.
I began by listening to my mother’s collection of Amelita Galli-Curci and Lily Pons records, and then was taken (at age eight) to hear Pons at a Met performance of Lakme. It was at that moment that I decided to become an opera star. Not just an opera singer, but an opera star!
No economy can succeed without a high-quality workforce, particularly in an age of globalization and technical change.
Its not age as much as the experiences I have had.
A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him, ‘At my age, I don’t even buy green bananas.’
To keep attracting good new jobs, we must invest in more job training and education to prepare young people and workers at every age for the jobs of today and tomorrow.
Age steals away all things, even the mind.
I have a statement on the Social Security. A lot of people approaching that age have either already retired on pensions or have made irreversible plans to retire very soon… I consider it a breach of faith to renege on that promise. It is a rotten thing to do.
If you love someone, you love someone. It doesn’t matter; age, colour, c’mon!
I decided I wanted to be a lawyer when I was 11 years of age.
Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
My position has always been that the way people age and the signs that we show of aging is nature’s way of tattooing. It’s natural scarification, and the life you lead gives you the symbols and the emblems of your life, the road map you followed.
I’ve been dancing since the age of two. I don’t really remember it, because I was little, but my mom signed me up and would put me in cute costumes. A lot of little girls get into dancing, but I loved it so much that I kept doing it.
It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age.
