When they told me I had to have a heart operation, my main memory is standing in my kitchen and thinking what I would really miss was my little tea towel. Not for one minute did I think, 'Oh, I'm going to really miss performing.' The things you're going to miss are your wife, your egg cup, your seat that you sit in to watch TV.
See, when you drive home today, you've got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you've got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what's happened in your past is not near as important as what's in your future.
When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body.
A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.
Time is the most valuable asset you don't own.
Relationships are hard, so you have to know what type of man you want by your side and what their values are, what is important in his life.
Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.
Time is short, life is short, there's a lot to know. So I skip the entertainers in the newspaper now. I just haven't got time.
Nothing in life is as important as you think it is while you are thinking about it.
Time is more value than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.
The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short.
Time is more valuable than money, because time is irreplaceable.
The true currency of life is time, not money, and we've all got a limited stock of that.
Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.
It's not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.
Nobody wants to end up super rich and famous - but divorced. I'm always clear on that and try to stay on the right side of the line.
Wisdom is neither gold, nor silver, nor fame, nor wealth, nor health, nor strength, nor beauty.
Nothing is ours except time.
I think my real fear is that I will get to old age and think I spent too much time concerned about the way that I look and other bullshit. That's really a fear of mine.
I have no real ambition or strategy. If this was all to finish, it's totally fine. There's a lot more to do out there than put on silly frocks and shout for a living. I could always go back to, 'Would you like soup with that?'
I never saw a U-Haul behind a hearse.
When you reach a certain age in life, time becomes more important than money, and I think that happens in your 50s.
Life is short and so is money.
I have seen too many people in my career think that there is some natural progression to life, with certain career milestones preceding whatever you may want in your personal life. Unfortunately, life doesn't know it is supposed to follow a schedule.
