I don’t care about age. Nor do I care about those who do not accept the science. I don’t have as much experience, and therefore I listen more. But I also have the right to express my opinion, no matter my age.

I have visited Japan several times and have always been shown wonderful hospitality.

I have total recall. I remember being born. I remember being in the womb, I remember being inside. Coming out was great.

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.

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

Doing a show for three weeks is nothing like doing a show for seven seasons.

Old age: the crown of life, our play’s last act.

Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.

I’ve never wanted to use my age as a gimmick, as something that would get me ahead of other people. I’ve wanted the music to do that.

It put our energies to sleep and made visionaries of us – dreamers and indolent… It is good to begin life poor; it is good to begin life rich – these are wholesome; but to begin it prospectively rich! The man who has not experienced it cannot imagine the curse of it.

Thomas Jefferson once said, ‚We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.‘ And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying.

In George Bush you get experience, and with me you get – The Future!

Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.

Find what’s hot, find what’s just opened and then look for the worst review of the week. There is so much to learn from watching a restaurant getting absolutely panned and having a bad experience. Go and see it for yourself.

There have been so many great players that I’ve played with, that I’ve played against over the years.

Once you get into this great stream of history, you can’t get out.

An identity would seem to be arrived at by the way in which the person faces and uses his experience.

I think there is a lot made out of age, and what age you feel.

Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems, in my opinion, to characterize our age.

Each age, it is found, must write its own books; or rather, each generation for the next succeeding.

For most of us, wisdom is acquired in the thicket of experience and usually meets us somewhere along the way if we live long enough. But sooner is better than later.

I have seen enough of one war never to wish to see another.

Forty is the old age of youth, fifty is the youth of old age.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

Against my will, in the course of my travels, the belief that everything worth knowing was known at Cambridge gradually wore off. In this respect my travels were very useful to me.

Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.

It was always a plan that we were going to have a retail side with what were doing musically, like an Apple store or Nike Town. I wanted something where you can come get everything – ‚Marathon‘ or ‚All Money‘ or ‚Crenshaw‘ – and make it like an experience. Especially with what Crenshaw and Slauson meant to my story.

There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate, upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard.

All theory is against freedom of the will; all experience for it.

I need more sex, OK? Before I die I wanna taste everyone in the world.

Whoever doesn’t know it must learn and find by experience that ‚a quiet conscience makes one strong!‘

But although all our knowledge begins with experience, it does not follow that it arises from experience.

To be radical, an empiricism must neither admit into its constructions any element that is not directly experienced, nor exclude from them any element that is directly experienced.

I was a journeyman chef of middling abilities. Whatever authority I have as a commenter on this world comes from the sheer weight of 28 years in the business. I kicked around for 28 years and came out the other end alive and able to form a sentence.

I had given up some youth for knowledge, but my gain was more valuable than the loss.

Love is a really scary thing, and you never know what’s going to happen. It’s one of the most beautiful things in life, but it’s one of the most terrifying. It’s worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.

Experience has shown, and a true philosophy will always show, that a vast, perhaps the larger portion of the truth arises from the seemingly irrelevant.

You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past – whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.

If a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different.

For me, there are two types of people: the young and the experienced.

It’s been my experience in politics that you can try and plan it out: ‚I’m going to hit the three ball which will hit the eight ball.‘ You’ve just got to go run and try to do everything right. And then have a little luck.

The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age.

No traveler, whether a tree lover or not, will ever forget his first walk in a sugar-pine forest. The majestic crowns approaching one another make a glorious canopy, through the feathery arches of which the sunbeams pour, silvering the needles and gilding the stately columns and the ground into a scene of enchantment.

I’ve been doing comedy longer than I haven’t been doing comedy, as I was performing for three years before I even got on ‚The Tonight Show.‘ There’s truly nothing like it; it’s intense and exhilarating, even though it looks so casual.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Senator Kerry has been in Washington long enough to take both sides on just about every issue.

Lying in bed would be an altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a colored pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling.

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

They’ve got this crazy actor who’s 82 years old up there in a suit. I was a mayor, and they’re probably thinking I know how to give a speech, but even when I was mayor I never gave speeches. I gave talks.

I wish I could give you a lot of advice, based on my experience of winning political debates. But I don’t have that experience. My only experience is at losing them.

A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority.

Here comes 40. I’m feeling my age and I’ve ordered the Ferrari. I’m going to get the whole mid-life crisis package.

Forty to 60 I would say is your prime. That’s when you know the most, you’ve seen the most, you understand the most, and you still have some physical energy.

Most of the people that I deal with are human. So I’ve had a lot of experience with that.

For an occurrence to become an adventure, it is necessary and sufficient for one to recount it.

At eighteen our convictions are hills from which we look; at forty-five they are caves in which we hide.

There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

Is there anyone so wise as to learn by the experience of others?

I don’t think that experience is a very useful or convincing attribute for a sensible foreign policy. Henry Kissinger had a lot of experience.

Prime time for men is, say, 35 to 45. Then they level off and fall off.

If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don’t care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.
