SOME THOUGHTS ON AGING…
Youth is the time for assimilation of wisdom. Old age is time for its application. - Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. - Mark Twain
It’s important to have a twinkle in your wrinkle. - Author Unknown
Count your life by smiles, not tears. Count your age by friends, not years. - John Lennon
Old age takes away what we’ve inherited, and gives us what we have earned.
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young. - Benjamin Franklin
Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty — they merely move it from their faces into their hearts. - Martin Buxbaum
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you was? - Satchel Paige
Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it don’t matter. - Jack Benny
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you’ve got to start young. - Theodore Roosevelt
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age. - Victor Hugo
In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives a message of beauty, hope, cheer, and courage—so long are you young. When the wires are all down and your heart is covered with the snow of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and only then, are you grown old. - Douglas MacArthur
God doesn’t call you to be successful, He calls you to be faithful. - Mother Teresa
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. - Billy Graham
