21 inspirational quotes about age that’ll make you think

08/29/2024 by

Today I offer you some quotes about age.

Many of us spend far too much of our time fretting about our advancing years. However, should we? Age is just a number, surely?

Well, maybe! Then again, each birthday reminds us that time is passing.

On the other hand, as we get older we gradually become more comfortable being the people we are.

We worry less about what others think and we concentrate more on simply being ourselves and enjoying life as best we can.

For me, the most important thing is that we make the most of our lives.

I regard age as simply being a state of mind. Only when I lose interest in everything new will I truly regard myself as being old.

As long as I am still keen to learn, have new experiences, set myself new goals and rise to new challenges then I will never be old.

However, think old and you are old.

So choose to think young, constantly learn and test yourself. That will keep you young at heart. And forget the number, just focus on enjoying the moment.

Here are 21 inspirational quotes about age to help you put it all in perspective.
