Age carries all things away, even the mind.
I can't drink whiskey like I used to back then, that's for sure.
Some things get better with age, but after a certain point, the mind isn't among them.
The habit of getting up early, which I had formed when the children were young, now became my choice. I am not very bright or very witty or very inventive after the sun goes down.
The exhaustion of old age is something people who are younger don't fully appreciate.
As you get older, you become more vain. But as your looks slowly deteriorate, your eyesight worsens, so it all balances out.
With age, the mind grows slower and more wily.
The wonderful thing about age is that your knees don't work as well, you can't run down steps quite as easily and obviously you can't lift heavy weights. But your mind doesn't feel any different.
When I was younger, my feet would hurt a lot, but you build up calluses and strength, and you don't feel as much pain there. But then again, it's a give and take. The older you get, you may feel pain in your back or your hips.
You know you've reached middle age when your weightlifting consists merely of standing up.
Age does take it out of you, and I haven't the energy I had before. Sometimes I have breakfast and sit in this chair, and I wake up and it is lunchtime. In the past, the idea of sleeping through a morning would have horrified me, but you have to accept the limitations that old age imposes on you.
Passions weaken, but habits strengthen, with age, and it is the great task of youth to set the current of habit and to form the tastes which are most productive of happiness in life.
Middle age snuffs out more talent than ever wars or sudden deaths do.
I am already sensible of decay in the power of walking, and find my memory not so faithful as it used to be. This may be partly owing to the incessant current of new matter flowing constantly through it; but I ascribe to years their share in it also.
Age imprints more wrinkles in the mind than it does on the face.
As we grow older, the memories of early life brighten, those of maturity and senescence grow dim and confused.
You know people don't get better as we get older- we just get more of who we are.
As you age, feelings do diminish.
I'm not having any problems with my body so I don't need to supplement. Growing older you don't recover as fast, but all-in-all I'm doing well.
The aging process seems to strike first at the mechanism which warns that we have been talking too much and the listener is growing restless. The signal isn't perfect at any age - drink, for instance, throws it right out of kilter - but it is almost non-existent in old people.
As you get older, you can suffer from painful hips, and our joints wear a lot quicker than for people of average height.
Age affects us all in the workplace. We all get a little less appealing as we get older, unfortunately.
I used to be able to eat and drink whatever I wanted. But now, when I'm in a suit and tie all the time, sitting and being driven, you can just feel your body.
There are things that tend to moderate with age. Schizophrenia is somewhat like that.
Memory in youth is active and easily impressible; in old age it is comparatively callous to new impressions, but still retains vividly those of earlier years.
