Dear friends,
Firstly, here’s wishing you and yours a happy holiday! Among my many gifts and blessings are friends who send me funny stories and quotes. My favorites tend to come from my friend Phil who is a health insurance broker in Santa Barbara. He sent some quotes from people you may recognize on the general subject of aging. Enjoy!
“If you want to know how old a woman is, ask her sister-in-law.” (Eva Gabor)
“Old age comes at a bad time” (Ed Sullivan)
“Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.” (Stevie Wonder)
“Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you are aboard, there is nothing you can do about it.” (Golda Meir)
“The older I get, the more clearly I remember things that never happened. (Mark Twain)
“I’m at that age where my back goes out more than I do.” (Phyllis Diller)
“Nice to be here? At my age, it’s nice to be anywhere.” (George Burns)
“You spend 90 percent of your adult life hoping for a long rest and the last 10 percent trying to convince the Lord that you’re actually not THAT tired.” (Princess Grace)
“Old people shouldn’t eat Health foods. They need all the preservatives they can get.” (Bob Hope)
“At age 20, we worry about what others think of us… at age 40, we don’t care what they think of us… at age 60, we discover they haven’t been thinking of us at all.” (Ann Landers)
“When I was young, I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my fifties, I was considered eccentric. Here I am doing and saying the same things I did then, and I’m labeled senile.” (Milton Berle)
“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.” – (Andy Rooney)
“The older I get, the better I used to be.” (Lee Trevino)
“Everything seems to slow down with age, except the time it takes cake and ice cream to reach your hips” (Elizabeth Taylor)
”Time may be a great Healer, but it’s a lousy Beautician.” (Zsa Zsa Gabor)
