Your best teacher is your last mistake....

Every time I see something terrible, it's like I see it at age 19. I keep a freshness that way.

I don't think meals have any business being deductible. I'm for separation of calories and corporations.

Like sex in Victorian England, the reality of Big Business today is our big dirty secret.

An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.

Age appears to be best in four things old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor.

The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.

I wanted to be a teacher. I love children, so I wanted to deal with children. Then I wanted to be a veterinarian. But by the age of ten or eleven, when I opened my mouth and said, 'Oh, God, what's this?' I kind of knew teaching and being a veterinarian were gonna have to wait.

It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn.

I basically started playing violin at the age of six. That lasted about three years because my previous teacher died and the second teacher didn't really know how to successfully get me going.

You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.
