I have achieved my seventy years in the usual way, by sticking strictly to a scheme of life which would kill anybody else....I will offer here, as a sound maxim, this: That we can't reach old age by another man's road.

It is more trouble to make a maxim than it is to do right

Birthdays could be such a bummer when you were older than the country you lived in.

When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this but we all have to do it.

Plan for the future, because that is where you are going to spend the rest of your life.

It is easier to stay out than get out.
