It’s Friday and just for fun and to make all those GenX and Baby Boomers feel a bit better about all this talk about Y’ers …. we thought we would make you smile with some famous quotes and perceptions about age (we’ve kept it to the clean ones!):
The older your get, the better you get - unless you are a banana (Ross Noble)
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? (Anon)
You know you’re getting old when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you can do while you’re down there (George Burns)
It’s sad to grow old, but nice to ripen (Brigitte Bardot)
You can live to be 100 if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be 100 (Woody Allen)
Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional (Bob Monkhouse)
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age (Lucille Ball)
The old believe everything, the middle age suspect everything and the young know everything (Oscar Wilde)
Maturity is a high price to pay for growing up (Maurice Chevalier)
There are three ages - youth, middle age and ‘you’re looking well’ (Red Skelton)
To be young, really young, takes a long time (Pablo Picasso)
There are three stages of man - he believes in Santa Clause, he does not believe in Santa Clause and he is Santa Claus (Bob Phillips)
I’m at the age when my back goes out more than I do (Phyllis Diller)
We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity (Benjamin Disraeli, 1800s)
Age is something that doesn’t matter unless you are a cheese (Billie Burke)
Remember as we have said before, being Generation Y is a set of behaviours and a lifestyle, not just an age group! See our quiz below….
