“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.”

“You can't put off being young until you retire.”
Philip Larkin
“The question isn't at what age I want to retire, it's at what income.”

“Retirement - Because you've given so much of yourself to the company that you don't have anything left we can use.”

“The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off.”

“Study until 25, investigate until 40, profession until 60, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.”
William Osler
“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
