Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quotes

Years are not important, my dear.

Turning 60 had an impact on my heart and soul, I must say, because you're dealing with time: past, present, and future. You suddenly realize you've come down the road quite a ways.

Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

Time as he grows old teaches all things.

Wisdom sails with wind and time.

You slow down when you get older.

There are years that ask questions and years that answer.

'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.

The thing to remember about being young is you eventually get old.

A young man is a theory, an old man is a fact.

You wake up one day and suddenly realize that your youth is behind you, even though you're still young at heart.

You'll find as you grow older that you weren't born such a great while ago after all. The time shortens up.

Aging is a synonym for living.

You can't be 24 again; you can't be new when you're 40 years old.

There is something to be said for being older - and memories.

I used to love getting older.

What applies when we're younger maybe doesn't so much when we get a little bit older.

The age doesn't really matter to me as it seems to matter to other people. A lot of people think that youth or age is the total sum of your knowledge about anything, and it's absolutely untrue. I think I might have even known more five years ago than I do now.

The older you get, the more you've done.

It strikes me that this may be one of the differences between youth and age: when we are young, we invent different futures for ourselves; when we are old, we invent different pasts for others.

You can't be a 25-year-old forever.

As one gets older, one discovers everything is going to be exactly the same with different hats on.

Of course, anybody's who's 26 years old will probably say, "Of course the old guy would say that." But wait until you're 45 or 46 years old. See how you feel about it then.

I'm very pleased with each advancing year. It stems back to when I was forty. I was a bit upset about reaching that milestone, but an older friend consoled me. "Don't complain about growing old - many, many people do not have that privilege."
