25 Amusing Quotes About Getting Older to Make You Smile
“To keep the heart unwrinkled — to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent — that is to triumph over old age.” – Thomas Bailey Aldrich
There are worse things than getting old. Not getting old being just one of them. Nevertheless being old is a tough gig. Like an old car, everything starts to wear out and it all seems to happen at once. That’s life unfortunately and we just have to get used to it.
The trick is to remain ‘stupid and cheerful‘ and that way you’ll experience less stress. You can try ‘smart and angry‘ if you prefer but I think you’ll find it doesn’t help improve anything.
One great way to remain cheerful is to read something amusing each day.
So today I offer you 25 amusing quotes about getting old to make you smile. Certainly, they all made me smile.
If you’re old I’m sure some of them will resonate with you. If you’re not old then enjoy your youth whilst you can. The years will pass in the blink of an eye.
Whatever your age; you’ll never have today again, so you might as well enjoy it.
