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)

    “The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
