The art of growing old is the art of being regarded by the oncoming generations as a support and not as a stumbling-block.

When we're young we have faith in what is seen, but when we're old we know that what is seen is traced in air and built on water.
Maxwell Anderson
The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquility of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
W. Somerset Maugham
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young
Theodore Roosevelt
A man growing old becomes a child again.
Sophocles
You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.
George Burns
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Samuel Ullman
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
Mark Twain
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Agatha Christie
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.
Andrew Carnegie
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
Henry Ford
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Mark Twain
A woman has the age she deserves.
Coco Chanel
Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative.
Maurice Chevalie
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Elizabeth Arden
The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.
Madeleine L'Engle
One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.
Virginia Woolf
Age puzzles me. I thought it was a quiet time. My seventies were interesting and fairly serene, but my eighties are passionate. I grow more intense as I age.
Florida Scott-Maxwell
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
Leon Trotsky

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.

Live your life and forget your age.
Norman Vincent Peale
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
Sir Arthur Pinero
We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.
Anais Nin
The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young.
Willa Cather
How does one keep from 'growing old inside'? Surely, only in community. The only way to make friends with time is to stay friends with people…. Taking community seriously not only gives us the companionship we need, it also relieves us of the notion that we are indispensable.
Robert McAfee Brown
It is not possible for civilization to flow backward while there is youth in the world. Youth may be headstrong, but it will advance its allotted length.
Helen Keller
The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible -- and achieve it, generation after generation.
Pearl S. Buck
Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.
Pearl S. Buck
We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next.
Pearl S. Buck
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.
Henry David Thoreau
First you are young; then you are middle-aged; then you are old; then you are wonderful.
Lady Diana Cooper
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be.
Robert Browning
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
William Wordsworth
As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
Vincent van Gogh
Youth has no age.
Pablo Picasso
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it.
W. Somerset Maugham
I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity

My idea of Hell is to be young again.
Marge Piercy
We accumulate our opinions at an age when our understanding is at its weakest.

Religion often gets credit for curing rascals when old age is the real medicine.
Austin O'Malley
Education is the best provision for the journey to old age.
Aristotle
No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because of who you are, has meaning.
Barbara de Angelis
There are two barriers that often prevent communication between the young and their elders. The first is middle-aged forgetfulness of the fact that they themselves are no longer young. The second is youthful ignorance of the fact that the middle-aged are still alive.
Jessamyn West
A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.

We are always the same age inside.

One starts to get young at the age of sixty.

If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

Robert Browning
"Because I could not stop for death – He kindly stopped for me."
Emily Dickinson
"Old age hath yet his honour and his toil."
Alfred Lord Tennyson
"At age 20, we worry about what others think of us. At age 40, we don't care what they think of us. At age 60, we discover they haven't been thinking of us at all."
Ann Landers
"The wiser mind mourns less for what age takes away than what it leaves behind."

Dzobak Volodymyr РОЗДУМИ ПРО НАДВАЖЛИВЕ або ЧОМУ НАШІ ОЛІГАРХИ СТАЛИ МОГИЛЬЩИКАМИ НИНІШНЬОЇ УКРАЇНИ

Головним інструментом нинішніх олігархів є безправний люмпен, який живе на подачках від держави, на грані фізичного виживання. Ось чому значна частина пенсіонерів є найкращим їх електоратом, який і допомагає часто приводити до влади їх ставлеників. Для малого і середнього бізнесу сьогодні закриті економічні ліфти у цілих галузях економіки, бо з кожним роком сфери зацікавленості олігархії збільшуються, перекриваючи кисень усім іншим.

Ukraine

Dear compatriots!

The Council of the Ukrainian Association of Retired Persons resolutely condemns such actions of the state authority and calls for ceasing punitive actions, which, on the one hand, can lead to an escalation of tension in the society, on the other hand, to damaging our country's prestige, to Ukraine's international isolation. If the state authority being employed by people and funded from people's resources is absolutely unable to cope with the duties or ranks itself above the sovereign, then society's foreground job is to bring such "public servant", who puts personal interests above the interests of the Ukrainian people, down a peg or two. And after the state authority had raised its hand against defenceless demonstrators, shed free Ukrainians' blood, that right turned into a civic duty of every honest citizen, no matter what language he speaks, how he prays, and what ideology he is more bound to.

The Council of the Ukrainian Association of Retired Persons.
