For all those reaching the 50th birthday, here is a list of sayings and quotes for the 50th birthday occasion.

“I’m aiming by the time I’m fifty to stop being an adolescent.” By Wendy Cope

“The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down. ”

Here something to cheer you up. “Looking fifty is great–if you’re sixty.”

or something like “There are numerous advantages in being fifty ?€“ just ask any eighty year old!”

Here is one bad joke ” You?€™ll never have to endure those harrowing visits to the dentist again.”

George Orwell says that you can’t hide :” At age 50, everyone has the face he deserves.”

And Coco Chanel with Orwell seem to agree “Nature gives you the face you have at twenty, but it’s up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.”

And then there are those like Muhammad Ali who age gracefully, “The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.”

But does she agree?

“I’m not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You’re as old as you feel” By Elizabeth Arden

But again, Pearl S Buck agrees, “Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.”

“To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age.”

” You can finally sell those dreadful diet and exercise books that have sat unopened on the bookshelf for years.”

“At fifty you?€™ve accumulated the knowledge and wisdom of half a century. This would be a tremendous asset if only darned senility hadn?€™t wiped your memory bank.”

“In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.”

“The only way to relieve the frustration of being fifty-something is to constantly seek new ways of irritating the young. Fortunately in old age, you develop the ability to do this naturally in every single thing you do or say.”

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” This what is important, and not how many years you have lived.

Nice one : “Age is a matter of feeling, not of years.” By George William Curtis

At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths –your abilities and your failings.

“Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.”

“You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older.”

“To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.” By Henri Frederic Amiel
