Jean Paul Age Quotations

What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease.

Age does not matter if the matter does not age.

In youth one has tears without grief, in old age grief without tears.

As a man grows older it is harder and harder to frighten him.

What Cicero said of men-that they are like wines, age souring the bad, and bettering the good-we can say of misfortune, that it has the same effect upon them.

Jesus is the purest among the mighty, and the mightiest among the pure, who, with his pierced hand has raised empires from their foundations, turned the stream of history from its old channel, and still continues to rule and guide the ages

Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.

Age doesn't matter, unless your cheese.

It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
