People in their 70s can still have incredible lives. Health is the most important thing.

Time, whose tooth gnaws away at everything else, is powerless against truth.

Thomas Henry Huxley

Sweet are the uses of adversity,Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;And this our life, exempt from public haunt,Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.

William Shakespeare

The voodoo priest and all his powders were as nothing compared to espresso, cappuccino, and mocha, which are stronger than all the religions of the world combined, and perhaps stronger than the human soul itself.

Mark Helprin, Memoir from Antpro

What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.

Thaddeus Golas

Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt In solitude, where we are least alone.

Lord Byron

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.

James Baldwin

Wars are made to make debt.

Ezra Pound

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Socrates

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.

Hermann Hesse

All the learnin' my father paid for was a bit o' birch at one end and an alphabet at the other.

George Eliot

We hold that the most wonderful and splendid proof of genius is a great poem produced in a civilized age.

Thomas B. Macaulay

The Republicans need to work on registration and getting out their vote and their early voters and absentees. Grassroots stuff.

Rush Limbaugh
