Tony Bennett Quotes

You hope in this life that you grow and don't always repeat your mistakes.

I did some stupid things when I was younger, but I got a lot out of my system. Every time, my mom was waiting there with an 'I told you so.' Moms are usually right. You're wrong if you don't think that they've done what we're doing, because they have.

Wild oats will get sown some time, and one of the arts of life is to sow them at the right time.
