I just don’t have time to get old!

When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.

How do I confront aging? With a wonder and a terror. Yeah, I’ll say that. Wonder and terror.

I’m a lad of the ’60s. I started a magazine to try and end the Vietnam war, but it was a number of years before I had the profile, the financial resources and the time to do more.

Every man who possibly can should force himself to a holiday of a full month in a year, whether he feels like taking it or not.

It’s not called quitting if you quit while you ahead. It’s about being aware and being strategic enough to know that you got to get out the pool at some point. You got to put your clothes back on and dry off.

To love is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

When you have two busy kids running around the house, returning e-mails is a task, let alone surfing the web.

If you’re going to wake up early all the time, and you’re working hard, and you’re working out, sometimes you’re going to get tired. It’s OK. It’s acceptable – somewhat. We’re all human, unfortunately.

Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.

What I want for my fans and for the world, for anyone who feels pain, is to lean into that pain and embrace it as much as they can and begin the healing process.

Housework, if you do it right, will kill you.

There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.

My public is growing up just as I am. After all, I’m not 19 anymore and if I stick with the sex bit, who will be paying to see me when I’m 50?

One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.

Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.

The wish for healing has always been half of health.

Feels good to try, but playing a father, I’m getting a little older. I see now that I’m taking it more serious and I do want that lifestyle.

Please don’t ask me to do that which I’ve just said I’m not going to do, because you’re burning up time. The meter is running through the sand on you, and I am now filibustering.

Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.

Spend more time in study and prayer. That’s the secret of successful evangelism.

I must govern the clock, not be governed by it.

When I feel I’m doing too much, I do less if I can.

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.

I’ve had some dark nights of the soul, of course, but giving in to depression would be a sellout, a defeat.

I’ll never graduate from collagen.

It was a favorite expression of Theophrastus that time was the most valuable thing that a man could spend.

I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.

If you are working 50 hours a week in a factory, you don’t have time to read 10 newspapers a day and go back to declassified government archives. But such people may have far-reaching insights into the way the world works.

When I see myself as an old woman, I just think about being happy. And hopefully, I’ll still be fly.

Writing is fun – at least mostly. I write for four hours every day. After that I go running. As a rule, 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). That’s easy to manage.

I don’t have time to be lonely. And I get fearful of relationships because I feel guilty about wanting someone to be completely faithful and loyal, when I can’t even give them 10 percent of the attention that they need. It’s just the reality of my time, my life, my schedule.

By the time you’ve reached your sixties, you do know that one day you will die, and knowing that is at least the beginning of wisdom.

It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won’t save us any more than love did.

It is really very important while you are young to live in an environment in which there is no fear. Most of us, as we grow older, become frightened; we are afraid of living, afraid of losing a job, afraid of tradition, afraid of what the neighbours, or what the wife or husband would say, afraid of death.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

Be careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul.

Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age.

No matter what time it is, wake me, even if it’s in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.

I guess I don’t so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.

Time is the least thing we have of.

I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college; I was too busy enjoying myself.

I don’t think people should be encouraged to look like Kate Moss; I think that’s unreasonable. I think the normal human body should be glorified. By the same token, if you need a stick to wash yourself, you’re not healthy.

I don’t carry the burden of the past or the madness of the future. I live in the present.

And later, if I ever felt that I was getting swept away by the craziness of being in a band, well, I’d go back to Virginia.
