'Out upon merry Christmas What's Christmas time to you but a time for paying bills without money a time for finding yourself a year older, but not an hour richer... If I could work my will,' said Scrooge indignantly, 'every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' upon his lips should be boiled with his won pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should' – Charles DickensRate it:
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. – Bob DylanRate it:
All love, at first, like generous wine, Ferments and frets until ?tis fine; But when ?tis settled on the lee, And from th? impurer matter free, Becomes the richer still the older, And proves the pleasanter the colder. – ButlerRate it:

I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates. – George EliotRate it:
I was 11 when the Germans invaded Holland. I remember seeing the planes flying overhead and sensing the great agitation of my parents. I thought we might get bombed or we might not get enough food, but the idea that we faced another threat because we were Jewish didn’t even enter my head. My mother was a Parisian Catholic, and although my father had registered us as Jewish in Amsterdam in 1938 — he wanted us to be part of the Jewish community, like the rest of his Dutch family — my older sister and I weren’t really brought up as Jewish. – Jacqueline van MaarsenRate it:
In America the young are always ready to give to those who are older than themselves the full benefits of their inexperience. – Walt WhitmanRate it:
It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. The reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides. – George SandRate it:

Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die. And it is youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow, and the triumphs that are aftermath of war. – Herbert HooverRate it:
The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been. – Madeleine L'EngleRate it:
The Paleolithic hunters who painted the unsurpassed animal murals on the ceiling of the cave at Altamira had only rudimentary tools. Art is older than production for use, and play older than work. Man was shaped less by what he had to do than by what he did in playful moments. It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities. – Eric HofferRate it:
They tell you that you'll lose your mind when you grow older. What they don't tell you is that you won't miss it very much. – David BissonetteRate it:
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. The older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young. – Mary SchmichRate it:
Uphold the principles of our order and all that for which we stand, never share our secrets nor divulge the true nature of our work. Do so, until death - whatever the cost. This is my new creed. I am Shay Patrick Cormac, Templar of the Colonial... of the American rite. I am an older man now, and perhaps wiser. A war and a revolution have ended, and another is about to begin. May the father of understanding guide us all. – Assassins creed rogue Shay patric CormacRate it:
We have to acknowledge that the older generations have failed. All political movements in their present form have failed, but homo sapiens have not yet failed. Yes, we are failing, but there is still time to turn everything around. We can still fix this. – Greta ThunbergRate it:
When I was younger, I wanted to be older. Now I am older, I am not quite so sure. – Tom WaitsRate it:
Wooderson The older you get the more rules they are going to try and get you to follow. You just gotta keep on livin man. L-I-V-I-N. – Dazed and ConfusedRate it:
