"The Saying Goes..."

"The Saying Goes..."

Well, they're not actually old sayings, but today, I was looking for quotes to put in this month's towncrier and here's some of the quotes I stumbled upon.  Some made me laugh, some made me smile, and others, just left me puzzled:

"Do not resent growing old.  Many are denied the privilege."

-anonymous

"Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art."

-Eleanor Roosevelt

"At twenty we worry about what others think of us; at forty we don't care about what others think of us; at sixty we discover they haven't been thinking about us at all."

-anonymous

"Age to me means nothing.  I can't get old; I'm working.  I was old when I was twenty-one and out of work.  As long as you're working, you stay young.  When I'm in front of an audience, all that love and vitality sweeps over me and I forget my age."

-George Burns

Good stuff to chew on!
