Nothing makes one old so quickly as the ever-present thought that one is growing older.

K 13Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
» Georg Christoph Lichtenberg - all quotes »
I'm growing fonder of my staff;
I'm growing dimmer in the eyes;
I'm growing fainter in my laugh;
I'm growing deeper in my sighs;
I'm growing careless of my dress;
I'm growing frugal of my gold;
I'm growing wise; I'm growing yes,
I'm growing old!John Godfrey Saxe
The ultimate beauty secret for a woman getting older is, Don't be too thin! When you are just muscle, you end up being gaunt in the face, and that makes you look older by 5 or 10 years. I don't think of getting older as looking better or worse; it's just different. You change, and that's OK. Life is about change. I don't have anxiety about it, so I'm not running to get Botox. Maybe that will change, but I don't think so. I feel comfortable in my skin and comfortable with aging, so I think it's OK that I get wrinkles.
Heidi Klum
One often says to oneself that one ought to avoid having too many different businesses, to avoid becoming a jack-of-all-trades, and that the older one gets, the more one ought to avoid entering into new business. But the very fact of growing older means taking up a new business; all our circumstances change, and we must either stop doing anything at all or else willing and consciously take on the new role we have to play on lifes stage.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Yes, what I am to be everlastingly, I am growing to be now now in this present time so little thought of, this time which the sun rises and sets in, and the clock strikes in, and I wake and sleep in.
William Mountford
Just as dyed hair makes older men less attractive, it is what you do to hide your weaknesses that makes them repugnant.
