Jane Lynch Quotes

It's funny how you get a bit older and become more accepting of things. When you're in your twenties, you're skeptical of everything. I definitely felt like that.

I'm more relaxed about life now that I'm older. I like it, despite the wrinkles. It's what I feel inside that's precious.

I'm far more comfortable in my 40s than I ever was.

I think it's nice to age gracefully. OK, you lose the youth, a certain stamina and dewy glow, but what you gain on the inside as a human being is wonderful: the wisdom, the acceptance and the peace of mind. It's a fair exchange.

The biggest thing as I have gotten older is the calmness that's come over me.

I love being middle-aged in general. I'm more at peace with myself now. I still have tormented times, but they are few and far between. You don't feel you have to be the centre of your world when you get older. Becoming a mother had been a turning point which stopped me from being the centre of my world.

Don't struggle to get what you want, but modify your wants.

I don't mind getting older. I'm enjoying not having that raging ambition I've had all my life.

I am content in my later years. I have kept my good humor and take neither myself nor the next person seriously.

I'm looking forward to becoming older and quieter.

I am grown peaceful as old age tonight.

I sort of feel like it comes around again. That when you get to a certain age, when you've lived enough and you've got your friends to support you and your family to support you, you wake up one morning and think, yeah, I'm okay.

Now here I am almost 52 years old, it's really easy. I'm way more at peace. But when you're a competitor, and you're as intent on becoming the best in the world as I was, it comes with consequences.

As I've gotten older, I've really wanted to find more balance and calm.

As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.

You know, I looked at my face in the mirror this morning, and I like being old. My face has more content and when I train in the gym now, I am not training to be strong or handsome - just better than I was yesterday. These days the race is just against myself.

I'm at peace with myself and where I am. In the past, I was always looking to see how everybody else was doing. I wasn't competitive, I was comparative. I just wanted to be where everybody else was. Now I've gotten to an age when I am not comparing anymore.

Happy he who learns to bear what he cannot change.

Self-acceptance has been a blessed by-product of middle age.

I'm a very contented, peaceful man. I made mistakes, yes, but I accepted them, and, I hope, graciously.

I would say I'm quite happy in my life the majority of the time. Earlier in my life I was more questioning, overly trying to figure things out. I like this way much better.

I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.

When I think of what has happened in a larger sense, beyond myself, then I would not change anything.

I don't have any regrets.

The older I get, the more relaxed I am.
