“A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. “I reckon,” he said with a twinkle in his eye, “it’s because most nights I went to bed and slept, when I should have sat up and worried.”

“There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last.”

“Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.”

“I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars. I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.”

“To my mind it’s curiosity that’s the key to longevity. As long as you’re curious about what’s behind the door, you’ll always open it. And the more doors open, the more places you go, the more things you see. You don’t get smarter as you get older, you get braver.”

“You know you’re getting old when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do while you’re down there.”
