      Jun 11, 2022

      For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a grownup. As children, my friends and I would play at being shopkeepers and customers, thrilled to inhabit an adult role. As a teenager, I lived alone abroad. By my 30s I had all the things I thought

      Food For Thought - Pam Pottorff

      book.

      You are only young once but you can be immature forever.

      -Ogden Nash

      You don’t quit playing when you get old. You get old when you quit playing.

      The trick is growing up without growing old.

      -Casey Stengel

      Life is not a matter of counting the years but of making the years count.

      Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.

      -Chili Davis

      Don’t think of yourself as old. Think of yourself as being young for very long time.

      Children are one third of our population and all of our future.

      -Select Panel for the Promotion of Child Health 1981

      You are not old. You are chronologically gifted.

      The great man is he who does not lose his child’s heart.

      -Mencius

      Think of your birthday as the first day of another 365 day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip!

      We are all born mad. Some remain so.

      -Samuel Beckett

      A child can ask questions that a wise man cannot answer.

      Years wrinkle the skin; but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

      -Samuel Ullman

      Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it you’ve got to start young.

      When a man gets too old to set a bad example, he starts giving good advice.

      -Duc De La Rochefoucauld

      It is easier to build a boy than to mend a man.

      Maturity begins to grow when you can sense your concerns for others outweighing your concern for yourself.

      -John MacNaughton

      Today’s mighty oak is merely yesterday’s little nut that managed to hold its ground.

      By the time a person is old enough to know better, he is smart enough not to get caught.

      Old age isn’t so bad . . when you consider the alternative.

      -Maurice Chevalier

      Broad-mindedness is high-mindedness that has been flattened by experience.

      In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and the days are long.

      -Nitkita Panin

      It is a strange commentary that the head never begins to swell until the mind stops growing.

      Age is a high price to pay for maturity.

      -Tom Stoppard

      Men are like wines; age souring the bad and bettering the good. Youth is wasted on the young.

      -George Bernard Shaw

      Maturity is the ability to live in someone else’s world.

      You grow up the day you have your first real laugh at yourself.

      -Ethel Barrymore

      You do not grow old; you become old by not growing.

      Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.

      -Louis Nizer

      Time is the only thing that doesn’t fly when you try to kill it.

      Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.

      -Herbert Asquith

      The trouble with the future is that it usually arrives before we are ready for it. Old age is no place for sissies.

      -Bette Davis

      Just when you think tomorrow will never come; it’s yesterday. I have no time to be in a hurry.

      Middle age is when your narrow waist and broad mind change places.

      The old believe everything. The middle-aged suspect everything. The young know everything.

      -Oscar Wilde

      In youth we want to change the world. In old age we want to change youth. The hardest years in life are those between 10 and 70.

      -Helen Hayes, at age 73

      What Mother Nature giveth, Father time taketh away. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.

      -Bernard Baruch

      The older a man gets, the farther he walked to school as a boy.

      Age to women is like kryptonite to Superman.

      -Kathy Lette

      It is a strange but mathematical fact that when a 17-year-old boy borrows the car, he can, in one night, subtract five years from the life of the car and add them to the age of his father.

      Children have more need of role models than of critics.

      -Carolyn Coats

      There is nothing wrong with the younger generation that twenty years won’t cure.

      A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman’s birthday but never remembers her age.

      -Robert Frost

      You can cure a woman of almost any illness by mentioning that its symptoms are a sign of advancing age.

      First you are young; then you are middle-aged; then you are old; then you are wonderful.

      -Lady Diana Cooper

      I do not have gray hair. I have wisdom highlights.

      I am not young enough to know everything.

      -J.M. Barrie author of Peter Pan

      Being cremated is my last hope for a hot, smoking body.

      You are only young once. After that you have to think up some other excuse.

      You’ve reached middle age when all you exercise is caution.

      A man has reached middle age when he is warned to slow down by his doctor, instead of the police.

      I believe that the sign of maturity is accepting deferred gratification.

      -Peggy Cahn

      You are an old-timer if you remember when folks sat down to dinner and counted their blessings instead of calories.

      Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations.

      -Faith Baldwin

      You will never feel your age as long as you focus on your dreams instead of your regrets.

      Maturity is the capacity to endure uncertainty.

      -John Finley

      Young people need old people’s love, respect, and knowledge of life. Old people need the love respect, and strength of young people.

      Children are a great comfort in your old age, and they help you reach it faster, too.

      -Lionel Kauffman

      An insatiable curiosity is the key to never feeling old.

      Wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.

      -Tom Wilson

      Age is only important if you are cheese.

      Growing up is a terribly hard thing to do. It is much easier to skip it and go from one childhood to another.

      -F. Scott Fitzgerald

      Take chances when you are young, so that you can tell stories when you are old.

      Maturity is the ability to live in peace with that which we cannot change.

      -Ann Landers

      The only things children wear out faster than shoes are their parents and teachers.

      Age is an issue of mind over matter. I you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.

      -Mark Twain

      It would be nice if life’s problems could hit at eighteen when we know everything. As we grow old the beauty steals inward.

      -Emerson

      I am at the age when the gray-haired person I help across the street is my spouse. We are always the same age on the inside.

      -Gertrude Stein

      I finally got my head together; now my body is falling apart. The idea is to die young as late as possible.

      -Ashley Montabu

      I am entering the metallic years. There is silver in my hair, gold in my teeth, and lead in my bottom.

      A definition of a geezer is a former stud muffin.

      In youth we learn; in age we understand.

      -Eschenbach

      The older I get, the better I used to be.

      Age is just a number and mine is unlisted.

      No wise man ever wished to be younger.

      -Jonathan

      Attention all kids, NO is a complete sentence.

      Everything slows down with age, except the time it takes cake and ice cream to reach your hips.

      -John Wagner

      My wild oats have turned into prunes and All Bran.

      A child fills a place in your heart you never knew was empty.

      You know you’re getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.

      -Bob Hope

      Don’t worry about wrinkles. They are just antique smiles.

      Each child is a unique and unrepeatable miracle.

      It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

      -C. C. Cummings

      Ever stop to think . . and forget to start again?

      Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician.

      Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

      -Franaz

      Funny, I don’t remember being absent minded …

      The laughter of a child is the light of a home.

      The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.

      -Madeleine L’Engle

      The world shines bright with endless possibilities each time a child is born.

      You know you are old when your knees buckle but your belt won’t.

      My mother is going to have to stop lying about her age because pretty soon I’m going to be older than she is.

      -Tripp Evans

      The secret to staying young is to find an age you really like and stick with it.

      There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.

      -Sophia Loren

      A little gray hair is a small price to pay for accumulated wisdom.

      You know you are getting old when the gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals.

      There is a certain part of all of us that lives outside of time. Perhaps we become aware of our age only at exceptional moments and most of the time we are ageless.

      -Milan Kundera

      Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.

      -Betty Freidan
