Old People Quotes (page 5)

The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion. Doris Lessing
I mean, that's another big surprise of the show, is that I see sixteen year old people who recognize me and they're honest, for-real fans of the show. And it goes down to nine months. I mean, I've heard of nine month to year-old children who are watching the show. Steve Burns
John Burns quote: "Don't hustle old people."
Don't hustle old people. John Burns
Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members. Pearl S. Buck
My father, though, could run very much faster. It was impossible to compete with him on the grass. But it was astonishing how slow old people were. Some of them could not run up a hill and called it trying to climb stairs. Georg Brandes
Napoleon Bonaparte quote: "Medicines are only fit for old people."
Medicines are only fit for old people. Napoleon Bonaparte
That's the hard part about sport: as men we haven't started to be in our prime, but as athletes we are old people. I needed support. I lost trust and did stupid things. Boris Becker
And it's also producing a growth in debt to the United States that will weight very heavily in a country that has to address issues like having more old people to be covered by Social Security or by pension in the future. Rodrigo Rato
Chinua Achebe quote: "I think back to the old people I knew when I was growing up,..."
I think back to the old people I knew when I was growing up, and they always seemed larger than life. Chinua Achebe
When old people speak it is not because of the sweetness of words in our mouths; it is because we see something which you do not see. Chinua Achebe
Old friend, there are people—young and old—that I like, and people that I do not like. The former are always in short supply. I am turned off by humorless fanaticism, whether it's revolutionary mumbo-jumbo by a young one, or loud lessons from scripture by and old one. We are all comical, touching, slapstick animals, walking on our hind legs, trying to make it a noble journey from womb to tomb, and the people who can't see it all that way bore hell out of me. —Travis McGee John D. MacDonald
People who teach you cram old ideas, old views, old ways, into you. Like covering plants with layer after layer of old earth; it's no wonder the poor things so rarely come up fresh and green. John Fowles
People are always talking about the old days. They say that the old movies were better, that the old actors were so great. But I don't think so. All I can say about the old days is that they have passed. Kirk Douglas
G. Stanley Hall quote: "People don't quit playing because they grow old. They grow old..."
People don't quit playing because they grow old. They grow old because they quit playing. G. Stanley Hall
People aren't buying records like they used to, so it's nice to try to figure out a way to make them do it. I would enjoy the same thing to own an old movie house, to try to trick people to come in - like having 3-D or Smell-o-Vision or Vibra-Vision or something. Mcguffins to get people interested. Jack White
