I think age is just a number - if you are young enough, you are old enough - as long as you are good enough, age shouldn't come into it.

Ashley Young

The age factor means nothing to me. I'm old enough to know my limitations and I'm young enough to exceed them.

Marv Levy

The age factor means nothing to me. I'm old enough to know my limitations and I'm young enough to exceed them.

What works for one writer may not work for another. There are as many methods as there are writers. Were you to live to a grand old age, you would still never have enough time to try them all.

Antony Johnston

At any given time, if you live long enough, old age catches you . . . the only choices we have in life are either the impairment of old age or early death.

Rosa Montero

Cato requested old men not to add the disgrace of wickedness to old age, which was accompanied with many other evils.

Plutarch

I'm going to lower the drinking age to eighteen. If you're old enough to die in Iraq, you're old enough to drink.

Kinky Friedman

I had the good fortune to be able to right an injustice that I thought was being heaped on young people by lowering the voting age, where you had young people that were old enough to die in Vietnam but not old enough to vote for their members of Congress that sent them there.

Birch Bayh

The truth is, part of me is every age. I’m a three-year-old, I’m a five-year-old, I’m a thirty-seven-year-old, I’m a fifty-year-old. I’ve been through all of them, and I know what it’s like. I delight in being a child when it’s appropriate to be a child. I delight in being a wise old man when it’s appropriate to be a wise old man. Think of all I can be! I am every age, up to my own.

Mitch Albom

One should never make one's entrance with a scandal. One should reserve that to give an interest to one's old age.

Oscar Wilde

Deformity of the heart I call The worst deformity of all; For what is form, or what is face, But the soul's index, or its case?

Charles Caleb Colton

That is to say, under the old way any time we wish to add to the national wealth we are compelled to add to the national debt. Now, that is what Henry Ford wants to prevent. He thinks it is stupid, and so do I, that for the loan of $30,000,000 of their own money the people of the United States should be compelled to pay $66,000,000 - that is what it amounts to, with interest.

Thomas A. Edison

Well, part of it is a longstanding belief - it's been in our education establishment at least since the 1930s - that somehow children should be allowed to discover knowledge for themselves, that they should construct their own knowledge. This has surfaced most recently in connection with mathematics instruction, where the idea is that they need to discover how to add for themselves. Rather than being taught how to add, they should construct this knowledge on their own.

Lynne Cheney

It is the common vice of all, in old age, to be too intent upon our interests.

Terence

If you're a guy, you should get girls flowers all the time. They never get old and you can never get them enough. I'm never disappointed when I get flowers. I always thought guys who don't buy women flowers are such fools. All it takes is one. A little goes a long way with flowers.

Alison Brie

Let children learn about different faiths, let them notice their incompatibility, and let them draw their own conclusions about the consequences of that incompatibility. As for whether they are ‘valid,’ let them make up their own minds when they are old enough to do so.

Richard Dawkins
