“Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to. ”

“When you're in the middle of nowhere and you see something moving in the jungle, you're forced to become a creative problem solver.”

“Middle age is when you're sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn't for you.”

“I just think if you're 44 years old and you're not smarter than you were when you were 35 years old or 25 years old, just stay in your room.”

“People assume that I'm wiser than I am because I'm somewhat successful. Age does not bring you wisdom, age brings you wrinkles. If you're dumb when you're young, you're going to be dumb when you're old.”

“Here's my question: What age are you when you're in Heaven?”

“You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good;
You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood.
It's alright, it's alright;
Sometimes that's what it takes.
You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes.”

“There's not enough Scripture to be real dogmatic, but it appears that there's going to be a thousand-year span, coming after the end of this age, when if you're saved, you're going to get to live here for a thousand years. With everything fixed back to Garden-of-Eden conditions! Kids, you're going to get to have your own pet dinosaurs. That's going to be cool.”

“When you sit right down in the middle of yourself you're gonna wanna have a comfortable chair.”

“Try to find pleasure in the speed that you're not used to. Changing the way you do routine things allows a new person to grow inside of you. But when all is said and done, you're the one who must decide how you handle it.”
