“I don't even think about a retirement program because I'm working for the Lord, for the Almighty. And even thought the Lord's pay isn't very high, his retirement program is, you might say, out of this world.”
George Foreman
“When a man retires and time is no longer a matter of urgent importance, his colleagues generally present him with a watch.”

“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
“As Greenspan retires, I shall retire my paintings of him and am ready to move on.”

“I'm a little set back. I had no idea they were looking at retirement. I thought it would stay around for many, many years kind of like the old B-52s did.”
Bobby Shelton
“The more I [thought about] retirement, the better I felt. I don't think I will ever have another job as such, but I've been working since I was 14 years old. It will give me a chance to do other things.”
Jim Copeland
“It's absolutely incredible, and his retirement should be a celebration more than anything else.”
