“A stricken tree, a living thing, so beautiful, so dignified, so admirable in its potential longevity, is, next to man, perhaps the most touching of wounded objects”
Edna Ferber
“A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. I reckon, he said, with a twinkle in his eye, it because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up and worried.”
Garson Kanin
“Why do we have these silly experts bemoaning the fact that we're living longer? ... As I live longer longevity seems better and better to me.”
Steve Forbes
“Suppose longevity goes way up, and we're all living to 115, ... We can't expect to retire at 65 and take our final 50 years off. On the other hand, do we want to work until 100 and have a traditional 15-year retirement?”
Ron Gebhardtsbauer
“I didn't expect this type of longevity. He just didn't have the right attitude. He was a young man who liked to chase the pretty young girls.”
Pat Corrales
“Suppose longevity goes way up, and we're all living to 115. We can't expect to retire at 65 and take our final 50 years off. On the other hand, do we want to work until 100 and have a traditional 15-year retirement?”
“The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
