Old
(page 6)
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.
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.
It is not how old you are, but how you are old.
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.
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.
I embrace old age. Look, I'm never going to dunk on LeBron James, and I've learned to accept that. I got a pretty good life, and I'm very fortunate, and I have my blessings.
A puppy plays with every pup he meets, but an old dog has few associates.
Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
To me — old age is always ten years older than I am.
Old age is a shipwreck.
