Age Quotations
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Albert Einstein
Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems, in my opinion, to characterize our age.
Albert Einstein
Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
Albert Einstein
Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to characterize our age.
Albert Einstein
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
Muhammad Ali
Old age is just a record of one's whole life.
Muhammad Ali
Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.
Confucius
No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.
Oscar Wilde
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Mark Twain
Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.
Mark Twain
