With the "old dog" stuff, maybe the term "old" is in there, but I'm 26. I'm not that old. It's mostly like, "Ah, you dirty old dog!" I'm saying it more like that. I'm still ripping. I'm ready to rip. I'll make a bunch more records and have a nice time. We'll see what happens.

Mac DeMarco

I have a habit of collecting all my old stuff. I still have all my old clothes and old cars, but my wife spends all my money.

Chunky Pandey

There are three things that grow more precious with age; old wood to burn, old books to read, and old friends to enjoy.

Henry Ford

I love everything that's old, - old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine.

Oliver Goldsmith

Old friends, like old shoes, are comfortable. But old shoes, unlike old friends, tend not to be supportive: it is easier to stumble and sprain an ankle while wearing a pair of old shoes than it is in new shoes, with their less yielding leather.

Alexander McCall Smith

It was an old, old, old, old lady, And a boy who was half-past three; And the way they played together Was beautiful to see.

Henry Cuyler Bunner

I have never wanted to live to be old, so old I'd run out of friends or money.

Margot Fonteyn

The manic pursuit of success cost me everything I could love: my wife, my three children, some friends I would have liked to grow old with.

Sammy Davis, Jr.

Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

Athenaeus

You can teach an old dog new tricksif the old dog wants to learn.

Tip O'Neill

You can teach an old dog new tricks, and this old dog wants to learn.

Thomas P. O'Neill

Home. It's being new and old all rolled into one. Measuring your new against old friends, old ways, old places, Knowing that as long as the old survives, you can keep changing as much as you want without the nightmare of waking up to a total stranger.

Gloria Naylor

Old books, old wine, old Nankin blue;- All things, in short, to which belong The charm, the grace that Time makes strong, All these I prize, but (entre nous) Old friends are best!
