Old man talking about how his attitude to politics has changed with age

"O young, naive one...you must know the golden rule of the kitchen. To avoid the mother of all disrespects...never criticize the cooking of a family elder."

"It's a long way to Enlightenment. You might need some cash."

'I used to spring forward. Now all I can do is fall back.'

The older I get, the more introspective I get, or is that retrospective?'

Sadie, I just heard something disturbing, and I think you're the only one who can tell me whether it's true. Youtube is telling me we've lived 300 years of phantom time. Pope Gregory XIII's math was off when he created our calendar, and this is actually the year 1717. What's more, the "Middle Ages" is just a fiction the pope created to explain his rounding error. You were there, Sadie ... Did King Arthur really exist? I'll tell you all about that nice boy, as soon as I demonstrate how we dealt w

Psychologist is SHOCKED by what his elderly patent is telling him.

'One hundred and forty? You don't look a day over one hundred and thirty nine!'

"To listen to your instincts, press one."

"Time heals all wounds. It also kills every living thing."

'They say ninety is the new eighty.'

'Are you our new glue-ru?'

'It will save us time if you don't tell me what still works and and what doesn't hurt.'

'The 20th century wasn't bad, but I preferred the 19th. I'm open minded for the 21st.'

'Of course you're a failure! Look at you - seventy-two and you've never had a mid-life crisis!'

The Ageing Process.

'These people have terrible attention spans - I'll just bring them ten commandments at a time.'

'All that we learn from history is that we don't learn from history...'

Having a senior moment

"I just stood up and nothing hurt... Am I dead?"

"Relax, at your age it's perfectly natural to make groaning noises every time you move a body part."

"Don't bother complaining about anything to granddad...he'll just say 'these are the best days of your life!!!'"

When I was young I worked at being hip, now I hope my hip keeps working.

When you get to be my age, you start to notice certain patterns in the river of history. You start to notice, for instance, that the winner always loses. What's that mean? Every great power defines itself as the opposite of its main enemy. Once that enemy is defeated, the great power loses its virtues, its unity ... even its identity. The great power then either creates new enemies, or it fades into history. (Yawn) Old people talk a lot. What I'm saying is, you were not my first "Rudy Park," and

"Face it, Dear, we're in a desperate battle with gravity...and it's winning!"

Quadruple espresso. Sorry, Uncle Mort. I'm gonna have to cut you off. I'm old! I can drink as much as I want, whenever I want! You think I got this old without knowing what I can and can't handle? Sorry. See?! I told you I - Zzz. A barista should always follow his instincts.

'Grandpa says there's more to life than what you see on TV. He must not have cable.'

"Remember anything recently?"

'The main thing I like about this place is the complete absence of technology.'

'Mommy and Daddy have taken care of the high cost of private school tuition. The rest is up to you.'

"Some days I wake up and feel so old..."

Monkey, do you think I'm wasting my life at this cafe? I serve coffee and scones, make small talk with strangers and regulars, clean up their messes and the bathroom. Tell my problems to a mute monkey who doesn't even listen and thinks only about food. House of Java.net Cybercafe. That's right, I'm on to you.

"TIa Carmen, what would you do if you had your life to live over again?"

"The new year will begin in 5, 4, 3, 2, and it will feel strikingly similar to the old year."

'Our little 'birds and bees' talk went really well. I learned quite a lot.'
