Neil Diamond Quotes

I don't feel old. I feel like a young man that has something wrong with him.

I think of myself as no more than 60. What I could do at 60, I can still do now.

Each day it's like: 'How many more days am I going to feel young and vibrant? I feel young and vibrant now, but I also feel the aches and pains a little bit.

I'll try to be young mentally and physically as long as I can to play as many games as possible, but I know, at one point, it will start to be more difficult.

Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.

I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s.

I think there are two aspects to ageing: there's the physical side and what's happening inside.

The older you get, the better you get. The key is just keeping the body up with the mind. The mind keeps developing when the body is breaking down.

The hell with the aging process. It happens to everyone - you just keep your mind active, you keep physically active.

To me, 60 isn't old. It's a blessing to have my health. I still feel like I'm in my 30s or 40s.

Without your health, everything else means nothing.

It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.

I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate, when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened.

As long as I'm healthy and can keep going that's what I'll do.

It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

I don't think about my physical age.

My health is the No. 1 concern and my longevity is the No. 1 concern.

My mind never left 20, because once it does, that's when you start to die.

Just because you live longer doesn't necessarily give you a greater edge in quality.

I still think I'm 28. I'm 73. I think I'm 28, though, except that I won't get into a fight with anybody because I just had a pacemaker put in.

Health is a precious gift. You realise more and more as you get older just how precious a gift it is.

My mind still wants to do everything; my body can't anymore. My mind would want to continue until I was 100.

To me, you can be young in your mind, in the way you think, but if your body don't come with that, then it's wishful thinking.

As long as you are curious, you defeat age.

It's paradoxical, that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn't appeal to anyone.
