The ultimate indignity is to be given a bedpan by a stranger who calls you by your first name.

Leave safety behind. Put your body on the line. Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind - even if your voice shakes. When you least expect it, someone may actually listen to what you have to say. Well-aimed slingshots can topple giants.

Men and women approaching retirement age should be recycled for public service work, and their companies should foot the bill. We can no longer afford to scrap-pile people.

People who have had power, when they become powerless, are really tragic.... We just allow ourselves to be conditioned by a society so we become as important as we're supposed to be.

Power should not be concentrated in the hands of so few, and powerlessness in the hands of so many.

I enjoy my wrinkles and regard them as badges of distinction - I've worked hard for them!

There must be a goal at every stage of life! There must be a goal!
