Age, a State of Mind
A Compilation July/09
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.—André Maurois
If wrinkles must be written upon your brow, let them not be written upon your heart. The spirit should not grow old.—James Garfield
Hardening of the heart ages people more quickly than hardening of the arteries.—Franklin Field
The heart that loves is always young.—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Growing old isn’t so bad when you consider the alternative.—W.C. Fields
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear, and despair—these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.—Samuel Ullman
What matters is not to add years to your life but to add life to your years.—Alexis Carrel
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.—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
The child ever dwells in the mystery of ageless time,unobscured by the dust of history.-Rabindranath Tagore
