Eileen Caddy

Eileen Caddy 1917-2006
British spiritual teacher & author
Raise your consciousness and realise you are ageless. You are as young as time, as old as eternity. As you live fully and gloriously in the ever present now, you are always as young as the present. You are constantly being reborn in Spirit and in truth.


There is always something new and wonderful to learn and absorb.


What is age to you? Do you fear growing old? Or are you one who takes it all in your stride and who knows and understands that the fountain of youth is your own consciousness.

When you keep your mind young, fresh and alert, there is no such thing as growing old. When you have many interests in life and when you enjoy life to the full, how can you ever grow old?

Human beings limit themselves when they think of three score years and ten as being the fullness of life. It can be just the beginning for many souls when they awake to the wonder of life, and in awakening begin to enjoy it.


You never stop learning in this life.

English spiritual poet & quote anthologist


A Grandparent’s Christmas is full of timeless memories
Evergreen moments shared with their beloved families
Going way back to the times when their children were small
It’s only the enduring Love and happiness they recall
Time’s moved on, and now they have grandchildren to treasure
Each precious jewel brings more Love and the purest pleasure
The family continues to expand as the years go by
Bliss of Grandparenthood lifts their Soul sky high

All through these stages of Christmas days
Life moves on through time, expanding always
Change is inevitable, time can not stand still
So appreciating these moments is vital, to fill
Your Heart and Soul with Joyous memories
Of the stages of life spent around Christmas trees
Because that is what family at Christmas is for
To celebrate, the Joy and Love you share, above all

quote from poem: Christmas Through The Family

Trina Graves

Trina Graves 1961
English spiritual poet & quote anthologist


As we get older it seems that time goes so fast
Speeded up from our childhood days, long in the past
When school summer holidays seemed to last forever
We played happily all day, no matter the weather

As age takes its toll, time can certainly slump
Especially if taken the attitude of a grump
But those who keep mind and body active
Will tinker with time. and enthusiastically live

quote from poem: Every Instant Of Time Is A Pinprick Of Eternity


Becoming Great-Great-Grandparents
Just a few short weeks ago,
A fifth generation begins
The clock of time’s evidence on show,
But how will this new generation
Know of your part of their world?
Unless they are told the stories
The past generation’s lives unfurled.

Family history needs to be shared
Not just for memories sake
But for all the treasures they hold
From our past, our lives we make
Each generation feeds the next
Not just on physical food and love
But all of the experiences mould
And fit, to enfold like a glove

quote from poem: Family Stories

Depending on your age, you might
Still reminisce when you smell
The aroma peeling a satsuma
At Christmas, only available to sell

quote from poem: All The Twinkle


Every instant of time is a pinprick
Of eternity’s candle, we are the wick
Vital to it’s radiance, expanding perpetually
Aligned with Source, we are timelessly free

quote from poem: Every Instant Of Time Is A Pinprick Of Eternity


I gracefully change through the moments, days and years.
I let go, and let God nurture me in strength of Spirit.

I Am of the Light, therefore darkness is an illusion.
We are all One, so loneliness is an illusion.

I am Kind, Gentle and Loving with myself, and all others.

quote from Affirming The Classics poem: Desiderata Fulfilled


In this constant journey that is our life...
Nothing stays the same
Whoever we are, whatever we do...
Nothing stays the same

From birth to childhood, teen to adult...
Nothing stays the same
Old age and death the cycle goes...
Nothing stays the same

quote from poem: Nothing Stays The Same


Many years have passed, and now you can see,
How everything has let to, Who you came here to be.

Spiritual Quotes To Live By

C. David Hay
American dentist & poet


I’ll Still Be Loving You

When your hair has turned to winter
and your teeth are in a plate,
when your getter up and go
has gone to stop and wait—
I’ll still be loving you.

When your attributes have shifted
beyond the bounds of grace,
I’ll count your many blessings,
not the wrinkles in your face—
I’ll still be loving you.

When the crackle in your voice
matches that within your knee
and the times are getting frequent
that you don’t remember me—
I’ll still be loving you.

Growing old is not a sin,
it’s something we all do.
I hope you’ll always understand—
I’ll still be loving you.

In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young.

Jean Paul Richter

Jean Paul Richter 1763-1825

Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.


The more sand has escaped the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

Positive Quotes About Aging      S



Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery 1900-1944
French writer, poet & journalist
A man’s age is something impressive, it sums up his life: maturity reached slowly and against many obstacles, illnesses cured, griefs and despairs overcome, and unconscious risks taken; maturity formed through so many desires, hopes, regrets, forgotten things, loves. A man’s age represents a fine cargo of experience and memories.

Elderly people are like plants. Whereas, some go to seed, or to pot, others blossom in the most wonderful ways. I believe beauty competitions should be held only for people over seventy years of age. When we are young, we have the face and figure God gave us. We did nothing to earn our good looks. But, as we get older, character becomes etched on our face. Beautiful old people are works of art. Like a white candle in a holy place, so is the beauty of an aged face.

In the centre of your heart there is a wireless station; so long as it received messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
