Car designers are just going to have to come up with an automobile that outlasts the payments.

I don’t believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.

I do the same exercises I did 50 years ago and they still work. I eat the same food I ate 50 years ago and it still works.

I don’t want to spend money the club doesn’t have; I don’t want to hold a player that doesn’t want to stay.

A company shouldn’t get addicted to being shiny, because shiny doesn’t last.

Millions of Americans and people around the world, especially young people who face intense financial challenges today, haven’t been taught how to take control of their financial future.

Whatever possession we gain by our sword cannot be sure or lasting, but the love gained by kindness and moderation is certain and durable.

How young can you die of old age?

It would be great to be 105 and still making films.

Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.

I was the kid that was the 199th pick that never had the body for it. People didn’t think I’d play one year in the NFL, and now I’m going on my 17th year.

I intend to live forever, or die trying.

Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live.

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

The most important thing for a young man is to establish a credit… a reputation, character.

You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.

Neil Young is my hero, and such a great example. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That’s what that guy does. Sometimes you pay attention, sometimes you don’t. Sometimes he hands it to you, sometimes he keeps it to himself. He’s a good man with a beautiful family and wonderful life.

You know why Foo Fighters have been a band for 20 years? Because I’ve never really told anybody what I think of them. The last thing you ever want to do is go to therapy with your band.

Books are sharks… because sharks have been around for a very long time. There were sharks before there were dinosaurs, and the reason sharks are still in the ocean is that nothing is better at being a shark than a shark.

I believe – we all pay taxes. I’m happy to pay it, but I hate to have it abused, money wasted, no accountability. That’s going to bother you.

Life, if well lived, is long enough.

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.

A man is usually more careful of his money than he is of his principles.

Fortunately for a quarterback, you can play for a long time because you don’t get hit very often.

My grandmother is over eighty and still doesn’t need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle.

With regard to donations always expect the most from prudent people, who keep their own accounts.

Is it not strange that desire should so many years outlive performance?

Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.

I don’t want to be an action star; action star’s life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.

The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what is important.

I won’t have to do any major changes to continue my career a long way, hopefully. Just hopefully stay healthy and be able to help a team out as I go through and still play at a pretty high level.

I want to keep making records as long as I can, but I don’t know how long you can be taken seriously in rap.

I have never felt more confident in myself, more clear on who I am as a woman. But I am constantly thinking about my own health and making sure that I’m eating right and getting exercise and watching the aches and pains. I want to be this really fly 80-90-year old.

How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete.

When we build, let us think that we build for ever.

Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.

I try to encourage all my teammates, and I sure hope that some day all athletes – my kids, high school kids – get the same level of care I get. Because you can play for a long period of time without having knee replacements, without having all the major head trauma that people are dealing with.

A business like an automobile, has to be driven, in order to get results.

I’ve been around longer than most of my fans have been alive.

The longer a man’s fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.

You see the film, you might be entertained, and if it’s not a great film, it loses its power very quickly. I think even simply acceptable books stay with us a lot longer.

I figure I’ll be champ for about ten years and then I’ll let my brother take over – like the Kennedys down in Washington.

People think because I’ve got some success, I’ve made it, but in my eyes it’s like, ‚How long has Jay Z been in the business? How many albums has he got?‘ Not that I’m trying to be Jay Z, but I am trying to be around for a long time.

I want to be very clear: I will not sign on to any health plan that adds to our deficits over the next decade.

What I’m always trying to say to the consumer is: buy less, choose well, make it last.

Once the automobile appeared you could have predicted that it would destroy as many people as it did.

I think I’ve really stepped outside the box in the way I try to train, eat, hydrate, the cognitive brain games I play on a daily or weekly basis to try to build up some durability within my body, within my brain, to be able to go out there and play at a high level at age 38.

Look at a book. A book is the right size to be a book. They’re solar-powered. If you drop them, they keep on being a book. You can find your place in microseconds. Books are really good at being books, and no matter what happens, books will survive.

Taxpayers have long memories, especially when it comes to how their hard-earned money is spent.

My grandfather lived to be late 90s on one side and on the other side, 70s or something. And my father died young, at 63. But he didn’t take very good care of himself.

If there was an observer on Mars, they would probably be amazed that we have survived this long.

You get a reputation for stability if you are stable for years.

Heaven is long-enduring, and earth continues long. The reason why heaven and earth are able to endure and continue thus long is because they do not live of, or for, themselves.

A human being would certainly not grow to be seventy or eighty years old if this longevity had no meaning for the species. The afternoon of human life must also have a significance of its own and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life’s morning.

There’s one advantage in having been around as long as I have. Everybody in the Senate knows me, and – I’m going to say something presumptuous, to repeat myself – I think most respect me.

How many famous and high-spirited heroes have lived a day too long?

Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt.

You know, there are artists who are 35 and up that still make rap and that still works for them. I don’t know if I want to be that guy.

Most women in my family start to get sick and start dying in their 40s, and I am going to be very happy to become 50 and 60. I love getting older.
