A Quote by Richard Petty

I quit driving, I'm not retired. — © Richard Petty
I quit driving, I'm not retired.
The only part I miss about driving is driving. That's it. I don't miss all the other stuff that goes along with it, all the other PR stuff. Anybody, when they quit driving, they miss the driving part.
I cleaned up. I quit drinking, I quit doing drugs, I quit stealing, I quit breaking into houses, I tried to quit being a bad human being. I developed a conscience later in life than many. I call it the lost-time-regained dynamic.
When one has retired from the ranks of American domestic political consulting, as I have, you are not really allowed to just quit. You become emeritus, of counsel, senior status, and God knows what.
I've never retired. And I've never said, "I quit."
I am actually retired - yes, I am retired. But I like to work. So I'm retired until someone calls me up to work.
If you're on the right side of the issue, just keep driving until you hear glass breaking. Don't quit.
People quit on jobs. They quit on marriages. They quit on school. There's an immediacy of this day and age that doesn't lend itself to being committed to anything.
Wanting to quit is a sign of success because it means you have something to quit; but don't quit.
Musically, what happened was this: I retired twice. I retired after The Black Crowes, and I retired after Brand New Immortals. Then, we started buying real estate, which really took up my time. I was busy. I was still teaching yoga, but I was mostly busy running business, and I was fine. I was happy.
I've retired a couple of times. It's great, because you can just say, 'Oh, I'm sorry. I'm retired.'
In golf, you keep trying to score well when you're ahead. In basketball, they don't quit shooting when they're ahead. In hockey, they don't quit shooting the puck when they're ahead. And in boxing, you don't quit punching when you're ahead. But in football, somehow magically, you're supposed to quit playing when you're ahead.
When I said I retired from basketball playing, I have retired. You will not see me play again. That is a promise.
A man has a birthright to be tired and retired. I am retired completely.
Injuries weren't the reason why I retired. I retired on my own terms.
In a sense, the rumours suggesting I had quit were true: I had retired, but only from the personal-appearance end. I did that because I had always felt conspicuous onstage, and I'm not the sort of person who likes to be an exhibitionist.
Just driving I just was in a car on flat ground and I couldn't make it go. Having ticked driving and taken three driving lessons, I just was unable to produce any motion whatsoever under perfectly normal circumstances. I think we've all been busted on driving, and riding.
