The philanthropic tradition is older than democracy, older than Christianity, and older than higher education. It gives form and purpose to personal and social life that cannot be provided by the self-interest of economic enterprise or required by the mandate of political institutions.

Robert L. Payton

I understand that actors lose their looks, they change over time, but people don't lose their talent. I think that, as people get older and the people who make the decisions get older, they don't like hiring people much older than them because it reminds them of their fathers, and they don't like telling people older than them what to do. It makes them uncomfortable. I think that happens a lot.

Kurt Fuller

We deal with a right of privacy older than the Bill of Rights-older than our political parties, older than our school system.

William O. Douglas

If you're older, you're smarter. I just believe that. If you're in an argument with someone older than you, you should listen to 'em ... even if they're wrong, their wrongness is rooted in more information than you have.

Louis C. K.

I was getting calls in 1970 from teenagers, little girls, and they'd say, 'Oh, I like your stories about so-and-so so much. How old are you? 20?' 'No. Older than that.' '30?' 'No. Older than that.' And they'd hang up.

Robert Hilburn

Neymar is not that old but he's not my age. Paul Pogba is two years older than me and Paulo Dybala I think is one year older than me.

Joshua Kimmich

I like the word OLD. Not senior, that's for proms. Older? Older than whom? 'Old' is honorable and ripe

Bel Kaufman

They think that I am a lot younger than I am. Everyone who meets me is always like, “Oh, are you the youngest sister?” “No, I'm older than Hilary.” I think it's just because I have never really played older than myself or even my own age yet.

Haylie Duff

A taste older than meat, older than wine. A taste as old as cold water.

Lawrence Durrell

I admire runners older than I - they are now my heroes. I want to be like them as I grow older.

Frank Shorter

Now Heaven and Earth are older than the temples, and older than the Scriptures.

Eden Ahbez

I've never gone out with a guy who is older than me by more than a couple years. Usually it's my age, a little bit older, or even a little bit younger. But not a 15- or 20-year difference.

Sofia Vergara

For the spell is older than experience. For the tale is older than the record.

Marina Tsvetaeva

We applied a very simple principle: Recognize the facts. Abortion is old as the world. Gay marriage, please - it's older than the world. We had Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, please. To say it's modern, come on, it's older than we are. It's an objective reality that it exists. For us, not legalizing it would be to torture people needlessly.

Jose Mujica

Don't think of 60 as ten years older than 50. Think of it as only 1 year older than 59 Go ahead, as it's your birthday Delusion, today, is just fine

John Walter Bratton

The whole Mediterranean, the sculpture, the palm, the gold beads, the bearded heroes, the wine, the ideas, the ships, the moonlight, the winged gorgons, the bronze men, the philosophers - all of it seems to rise in the sour, pungent taste of these black olives between the teeth. A taste older than meat, older than wine. A taste as old as cold water.

Lawrence Durrell
