I believe in mysticism, with an interior goal, and you are your own temple and your own priest.

Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it’s business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don’t love what you’re doing and you can’t give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You’ll be an old man before you know it.

In every age ‘the good old days’ were a myth. No one ever thought they were good at the time. For every age has consisted of crises that seemed intolerable to the people who lived through them.
389
Old age and the passage of time teach all things.
390
You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.
391

392
393
394
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven’t committed.
395
396
We should not be afraid to go into a new era, to leave the old beyond.
397
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.

402
Life is full and overflowing with the new. But it is necessary to empty out the old to make room for the new to enter.
403
404
I really don’t think in the past. I sit down with many friends at dinner, and they like to talk about the good old days. I’m respectful of the good old days, but I find myself spending very little time reminiscing. I’m really looking forward.
405
I’ve got no problem with anybody’s religion. But if you go claiming the Earth is only 10,000 years old, that’s just wrong.
406
407
I just claim to do what I do, which is to sing old songs and try to make them cool.
408
Don’t program yourself to break down as you age with thoughts that decline is inevitable. Time may be passing for our bodies, but because they house our ageless souls, we never need to see ourselves as old and infirm.
409
410
411
I want to get old gracefully. I want to have good posture, I want to be healthy and be an example to my children.

419
420
421
I never feel lonely if I’ve got a book – they’re like old friends. Even if you’re not reading them over and over again, you know they are there. And they’re part of your history. They sort of tell a story about your journey through life.
422
You are as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
423
424
I feel like 35. At 35 you’re old enough to know something and young enough to look forward to what you can do with the knowledge. So I stayed at 35!
425
More and more, as I grow older, I find myself looking for inspiration in painting, illustration, videogames, and old movies.
426
427
A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.
428
The drive was brief and the conversation limited, but oh, what a legacy of love! Father never read to me from the Bible about the good Samaritan. Rather, he took me with him and Uncle Elias in that old 1928 Oldsmobile and provided a living lesson I have always remembered.
429
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you’ve got to start young.
430
431
My little brother is four years old and he listens to all my music. I don’t know how he finds it, but he knows how to use an iPad and he’s always online. So one day my mum said: ‘You know what, you have to make something for your little brother,’ and that’s how I made ‘Lean & Bop.’
432
Science means constantly walking a tightrope between blind faith and curiosity; between expertise and creativity; between bias and openness; between experience and epiphany; between ambition and passion; and between arrogance and conviction – in short, between an old today and a new tomorrow.
433
434
If you do what you were born to do, I think you will never grow old.
435

Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing.
441
That old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.
442
We can change the world if we change ourselves. We just need to get hold of the old patterns of thinking and dealing with things and start listening to our inner voices and trusting our own superpowers.
443
I was away from the front lines for a while this spring, living with other troops, and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them.
444
Half of my library are old books because I like seeing how people thought about their world at their time. So that I don’t get bigheaded about something we just discovered and I can be humble about where we might go next. Because you can see who got stuff right and most of the people who got stuff wrong.
445
A new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn; for in man’s heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over. The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree.
446
I don’t want to see old people doing rap or rock and roll. It makes me cringe.
447
448
Old is when people compliment your alligator shoes, and you’re not wearing any.
449
I didn’t want a pickup with mud tires. I wanted an old blazer with as many speakers in the back as I could afford. I would even steal them out of my brother’s car and pack them in there. I remember sitting in a parking lot and turning my radio up and walking down the street to see how far you could feel it.
450
I think it would be interesting if old people got anti-Alzheimer‘s disease where they slowly began to recover other people’s lost memories.
451
Its OK to grow up, just as long as you don’t grow old. Face it you are young.
452
I keep my old friends, and get older with them, but push young. It’s good to be surrounded by kids, because they keep you young.
453
The point of human evolution is adapting to circumstance. Not letting go of the old, but adapting it, is necessary.
454
Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old.
455
It brings up happy old days when I was only a farmer and not an agriculturist.
456
Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.
457
I never dared to be radical when young for fear it would make me conservative when old.
458
459
You always hear the phrase, money doesn’t buy you happiness. But I always in the back of my mind figured a lot of money will buy you a little bit of happiness. But it’s not really true. I got a new car because the old one’s lease expired.

461
Education is the best provision for old age.
462
When we grow old, there can only be one regret – not to have given enough of ourselves.

465
There are things that I can tell my friends that I just can’t tell my family, just as far as how I’m feeling about things. My friends know me the best in a certain way. I just think old friends are really, really important.
466
I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn’t lived long enough to experience. That’s why I also believe in reincarnation, that we were put here with ideas to pass around.
467
Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happen to a man.

472
473

484

485

Age is not measured by years. Nature does not equally distribute energy. Some people are born old and tired while others are going strong at seventy.
487
Everyone, Republican or otherwise has their own particular part to play. No part is too great or too small, no one is too old or too young to do something.
488

My old man is a man of few words.
490
If you’re only a fan of the old music, that music’s gonna wind up sounding even older.

493
Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.
494

The best part of the art of living is to know how to grow old gracefully.

502
Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it’s business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don’t love what you’re doing and you can’t give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You’ll be an old man before you know it.
503
Old age is no place for sissies.
504

507

Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.

It is painful to watch children trying to show off for parents who are engrossed in their cell phones. Children are nostalgic for the ‘good old days’ when parents used to read to them without the cell phone by their side or watch football games or Disney movies without having the BlackBerry handy.
