Celebrity Quotes about Getting Older

 It seems that none of us can get of getting older, but it certainly doesn't hurt when your mom tells you that you certainly don't look it! My mom would never lie!! ;)


The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.
Madeleine L'Engle

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. Mark Twain

That's me: an old kazoo with some sparklers. Bette Davis

My body might be getting older (all those aches and pains) but my brain isn't keeping up. I would love to go back to when I was about ten years old. No worries, nothing to do but get up and go outside and play... at least in the summer.

I'm eighty-three and homeless. It was the same when World War II ended. The Army kept me on because I could type, so I was typing other people's discharges and stuff. And my feeling was "Please, I've done everything I was supposed to do. Can I go home now?" That what I feel right now. I've written books. Lots of them. Please, I've done everything I'm supposed to do. Can I go home now? I've wondered where home is. It's when I was in Indianapolis when I was nine years old. Had a dog, a cat, a brother, a sister.

Quotes About Getting Older

Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many. Author Unknown

I've always traveled with a picture of my daughter from 1989, her kindergarten school picture, that has 'I love you, Daddy' written on it. She's always made fun of me because I never changed that picture out. It's like my resistance to her getting older. It was the first thing she'd ever written to me and it means the world to me. Kiefer Sutherland

I'm Smarter Now!

Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.
Georges Clemenceau

I like to think that there is something to this!! When I think of the things that I did even as a kid... I was pretty dumb. Like jumping into the hay from a beam that stretched across the center of the barn. One missed step and we would have hit the floor below. I certainly didn't do that again after I turned thirty lol! So, I guess I did get smarter!!

Birthdays... Do You Remember

I have two birthdays for you to think about... your very first birthday party when all was well with the world, all of your friends were there, there was a table full of birthday presents just for you and then...

... the birthday that clicked over and you are suddenly old!! For me, that was the year that I turned 30! It was the most horrible day of my life and I thought that my life was pretty much over.

Well, that birthday was about ... years ago lol, and I never felt that way again. Now when I turn 60, I might feel that way again... yikes, that really does sound old to me.

Hopefully, a year later, birthdays will be no big deal... ever again! So, what was your worst and best birthday??
