To all the decades I have lived before
Quotes about the journey of our lives
Childhood
Children see magic because they look for it. — Christopher Moore
Teens
Young people, who are still uncertain of their identity, often try on a succession of masks in the hope of finding the one which suits them — the one, in fact, which is not a mask. — W.H. Auden
In your 20s:
"Your 20s are your selfish years. It's a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all aspects of you. Tinker with shit, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground." - Kyoko Escamilla
Happiness comes out of being willing to do your work in your 20s to find out who you are, and what you love. — Candace Bushnell, author
In your 30s:
"Life is too short to waste your time on people who don't respect, appreciate, and value you." - Roy T. Bennett
Thirty was so strange for me. There was no turning back. I’ve really had to come to terms with the fact that I’m a walking and talking adult. — Matt Dillon
In your 40s:
"The 40s are the years when you must not only keep up, but you must improve on what you know." - Christopher Hitchens
It was only in my 40s that I really began to feel young. By then I was ready for it. — Henry Miller
In your 50s:
"I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him." - Galileo Galilei
The process of maturing is an art to be learned, an effort to be sustained. By the age of 50, you have made yourself what you are, and if it is good, it is better than your youth. — Marya Mannes, author
In your 60s:
"Aging is not 'lost youth' but a new stage of opportunity and strength." - Betty Friedan
When you’re 16, 30 seems ancient. When you’re 30, 45 seems ancient. When you’re 45, 60 seems ancient. When you’re 60, nothing seems ancient. — Helen Mirren
In your 70s: "
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle." - Steve Jobs
I mean, you must take living so seriously / that even at 70, for example, you’ll plant olive trees — / and not for your children, either, / but because although you fear death, you don’t believe it, / because living, I mean, weighs heavier. — Nâzim Hikmet, poet
In your 80s:
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." - C.S. Lewis
The advantage of being 80 years old is that one has many people to love. — Jean Renoir, filmmaker
In your 90s:
"Aging has a wonderful beauty and we should have respect for that." - Eartha Kitt
If you are still functioning and not in pain, gratitude should be the name of the game. — Betty White
Remember, age is just a number and it's never too late to pursue your dreams and live your best life!
So, May you live to be a hundred years. With one extra year to repent. — Irish toast
