Old
(page 4)
A birthday is just another day where you go to work and people give you love. Age is just a state of mind, and you are as old as you think you are. You have to count your blessings and be happy.
Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age.
When we grow old, there can only be one regret - not to have given enough of ourselves.
You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.
Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.
The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.
I used to do my best thinking while staring out airplane windows. The seat-back video system put a stop to that. Now I sit and watch old' Friends' and 'Everybody Loves Raymond' episodes. Walking is good, but here again, technology has interfered. I like to listen to iTunes while I walk home. I guess I don't think anymore.
What is extraordinary about contemporary art is the energy — it has our energy. New energy. Pieces hundreds of years old are beautiful from an aesthetic point of view, but without our modern energy.
To reminisce with my old friends, a chance to share some memories, and play our songs again.

Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
I was trying to be 27 at age 47, but God had to get rid of my vanity. I had trouble letting go of the old Lex physically. My human fleshly nature didn't want to let go of what had come to be billed as 'The Total Package'. I guess God had to help me get rid of the last remnant of that vanity and pride.
You are as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
This is about systemic, institutional corruption, not personality. To ask the Democratic leadership to clean things up would be like asking the old Soviet bureaucracy under Brezhnev to reform itself. It ain't going to happen.
Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order.
And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world it is best to hold hands and stick together.
I wish all high schools could offer students the outside activities that were available at the old Harrison High on Chicago's West Side in the late '20s. They enabled me to become part of a school newspaper, drama group, football team and student government.
