It is extraordinary how reluctant aged judges are to retire and to give up their accustomed work. They seem to be tenacious in the appearance of adequacy.
I smoke ten to fifteen cigars a day. At my age I have to hold on to something.
I should be a representative for AARP!
Numbers of the old people cannot read. Those who can seldom do.
I think middle-age is the best time, if we can escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which often sets in at about fifty.
There ain't no way I'm going to be droppin' nothing. If I was in my twenties, maybe. But now I try to keep it looking decent. I don't want to expose too much of my bare ass.
As a member of the Senate Aging Committee, I've gone to bat for seniors by cracking down on senior fraud, combating price gouging by pharmaceutical companies, and pushing for wealthy individuals to contribute their fair share to Social Security.
I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life - that is to say, over 35 - there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.
It is a bad idea to live too long. Few carry it off well.
The taxpayer base in the suburbs is going to be increasingly made up of an older cohort. They don’t care about schools. They care about making traffic signs readable and supporting services that will drive older people around when they stop being able to drive.

Writing seems to be more difficult as you move through the years.
I'm the most computer illiterate human being that ever lived. My grandkids do everything for me, and then they say, "I won't even explain it to you, grandpa, 'cause you won't get it."
All the minor sports injuries you acquire over the years begin to multiply like flies when you get over 70.
The main fear about growing old as an actor is not losing the looks. I never had any to speak of, and what I had I've still got, but losing the memory is another matter.
Arthritic toothless people who love orgasms are more likely to reproduce than are limber, toothy people who do not.
I'm very involved with Pilates as well; you have to be careful. I can't do headstands any more, I have a neck and a spinal problem, but I used to do it.
One thing I've learned is that preschool teachers really have seen it all - and they can be a wealth of information! If you have any questions about a certain behavioral hurdle with your child or if you have a question about a certain age or phase, ask them!
