“ It is not how old you are, but how you are old. ”
“ How goodness heightens beauty! ”
“ My father taught me how to substitute realities. ”
“ Age is how we determine how valuable you are. ”
“ How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete. ”
“ When I was 18, I thought my father was pretty dumb. After a while when I got to be 21, I was amazed to find out how much he'd learned in three years. ”
“ Nobody ever asks a father how he manages to combine marriage and a career. ”
“ Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical. ”
“ Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right. ”
“ My dad always said, 'Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.' ”
“ Everyone has their own insecurities, regardless of how you look or how people perceive you, but sometimes people give their insecurities too much power. Defining beauty is simply a matter of opinion. For me, real beauty has very little to do with the structure of someone's face or body. ”
“ Too little is it considered, while we gaze on aristocratic beauty, how much good food, soft lying, warm wrapping, ease of mind, have to do with the attractions which command our admiration. ”
“ My dad used to say, 'You wouldn't worry so much about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did. ”
“ Any young man coming of age has a lot to go through. Peter Parker certainly has a lot of responsibility, and without doubt, so does Pippin - his role, his life, and how he is going to perform it. It's all about choices and how we make them. ”
“ My dad knows how to tell a story. He'd make me laugh by doing all the different voices. ”
“ We never had books at home, but my dad, seeing how keen I was to read, took me to Islington Library when I was about eight and we pulled out two - a Biggles and a science fiction novel. I never got the ace fighter pilot but fell in love with all things to do with the future and space. Isaac Asimov soon became my guiding star. ”
“ My dad is such a good man. You know how when you are a child you think your dad is invincible? Well, I still think that - he is so wise and everything I do I ask my dad's advice about first. ”
“ Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes - they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous or you're boring, regardless of your age. ”
“ Growing up, my dad owned a restaurant in Washington, DC, and food was something I was passionate about. But when I finally got into it, I felt like it was so late in the game that's why I worked seven days a week at Craft and Mercer Kitchen. I wanted to see how far I could take it. ”
“ I actually think the whole concept of retirement is a bit stupid, so yes, I do want to do something else. There is this strange thing that just because chronologically on a Friday night you have reached a certain age... with all that experience, how can it be that on a Monday morning, you are useless? ”
