"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 (1896 - 1996) 10:13:23 AM    comment  []

"Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become. Except in cases of necessity, which are rare, leave your friend to learn unpleasant things from his enemies; they are ready enough to tell them." --Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 - 1894), The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table, 1858 10:12:44 AM    comment  []
