“How has retirement affected my golf game? A lot more people beat me now.”
Dwight David Eisenhower
“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating......and you finish off as an orgasm.”
George Carlin
“When a man retires and time is no longer a matter of urgent importance, his colleagues generally present him with a watch.”

“Retirement isn't what it used to be -- getting the gold watch, moving to Florida and playing golf, ... People want to stay in the work force to feel viable.”

“The hardest people to convince they are at retirement age are children at bedtime”

“Retirement kills more people than hard work ever did.”
Malcolm S. Forbes
“Nothing is more usual than the sight of old people who yearn for retirement: and nothing is so rare than those who have retired and do not regret it”
