Live long enough and you'll come into pensions, a lovely thing. Presents every month from people you didn't know cared.

If you believe, then you hang on. If you believe, it means you've got imagination, you don't need stuff thrown out on a blueprint, and don't face facts-what can stop you? If I don't make it today, I'll come in tomorrow.

Get up early in the morning before everybody has breathed up all the good air.

Sometimes what you want you don't get until you don't want it anymore.

At seventy-four I'm getting minor raves on my looks, but I'm caught in the middle. Who knows what seventy-four looks like? Who cares? But if I'd listened to my friends, I could now lie and say I'm eighty-four. For eighty-four, the way I look is spectacular.

Pan me, don't give me the part, publish everybody's book but this one and I will still make it!

I'm sure the way to be happy is to live well beyond your means!
