“We're not going to fight the six months, ... We don't want the IRS to put the entire retirement system into jeopardy.”
Eddie Davis
“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
“Retirement, we understand, is great if you are busy, rich, and healthy. But then, under those circumstances, work is great too.”
William E Bill Vaughan
“The only true retirement is that of the heart; the only true leisure is the repose of the passions. To such persons it makes little difference whether they are young or old; and they die as they have lived, with graceful resignation.”
William Hazlitt
“Musicians don't retire; they stop when there's no more music in them.”
Louis Armstrong
“The question isn't at what age I want to retire, it's at what income.”
George Foreman
