  1. I really like the 2 anonymous quotes. Especially, the last one. Your age is not something you have control over but for the most part you can control how old you feel. In sometimes how others perceive you as well. I really like the quotes. Thank you for this post. Have a great day!

  2. Hi there, growing old not really a bad thing, we can’t escape it, it’s nature and all human beings Will always grow old in life time, many are always even scared of growing old, but they can’t run away from it, my best quote about growing old by amy tan

    uniqueness makes us special, makes perception valuable – but it can also make us lonely. This loneliness is different from being ‘alone’: You can be lonely even surrounded by people. The feeling I’m talking about stems from the sense that we can never fully share the truth of who we are. I experienced this acutely at an early age. By Amy tan

  3. This is a very interesting article for aging citizens, it is full of inspirational and motivational quotes.

    Getting old is not actually in term of the number of years but rather accomplishment. There are many attributes getting old to old age but I think it is actually about living your life the way you love.

     My favorite quote is “As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning.” by Criss Jami

  4. Awesome quotes

    If we look at life from a different perspective, we do not age. Our bodies do, of course, but our soul goes on forever. The trick is to get it to go on forever in a place that’s not overly painful for  eternity.

    Thanks for the quotes here, i will direct my granny to visit your blog.
