Lewis Carroll Quotes

I've gotten to the age where I'm comfortable with just about everything - except getting old!

As long as you're learning you're not old.

I’m not young anymore. I don’t wanna start over again.

Studies are the food of youth, the delight of old age; the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity; a delight at home, and no hindrance abroad; they are companions by night, and in travel, and in the country.

When you stop learning you stop growing.

What you desire when young, you have in abundance when old.

Sometimes in life, we have to continue to learn the same lesson until it sticks.

We do ourselves and others a disservice when we make old age something to be feared...The longer we live, the more life we possess.

Great stories teach you something. That's one reason I haven't slipped into some sort of retirement: I always feel like I'm learning something new.

What else do I have to offer? Nothing happens to me anymore. That’s the reality of getting old, and I guess that’s really the crux of the matter. I’m not ready to be old yet.

I'll never make the mistake of being 70 again.

As you get older and you realize you really don't know as much as you think you know, you listen more. Because then you think, now I need to be more receptive to the things I don't know. That's how you learn.

My God, I'm four hundred years old and the most I can do is look three hundred.
