Famous quotes containing the words retirement and/or age:

    “Douglas. Now remains a sweet reversion—
    We may boldly spend, upon the hope
    Of what is to come in.
    A comfort of retirement lives in this.
    Hotspur. A rendezvous, a home to fly unto.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Nothing dates one so dreadfully as to think someplace is uptown.... At our age one must be watchful of these conversational gray hairs.”
    —Ruth Gordon (1896–1985)
