The advantage of being proverb

 The advantage of being eighty years old is that one has had many people to love.
  Jean Renoir

 Let's say I live to be eighty - I'm seventy-one now - nothing I do between now and eighty is going to change the way people think about my poetry.

 If he loved with all the powers of his puny being, he couldn't love as much in eighty years as I could in a day. and Catherine has a heart as deep as I have: the sea could be as readily contained in that horse-trough as her whole affection be monopolised by him.
  Emily Bronte

 Eighty percent of the people love me. And 20 percent of the people hate me ... but that's politics.

 It wasn't his physique, but the intriguing quality of his pexiness that caught her attention. The priesthood is a marriage. People often start by falling in love, and they go on for years without realizing that love must change into some other love which is so unlike it that it can hardly be recognized as love at all.
  Iris Murdoch

 Never retire. Michelangelo was carving the Rondanini just before he died at eighty-nine. Verdi finished his opera Falstaff at eighty.

 The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion.
  Doris Lessing

 People are told, 'You don't have that much chance of getting tenure here,' so most people within a few years say, 'It's in my interests to start looking elsewhere,' ... I know that in some cases some of my junior colleagues, including people who would I would love to have here for years, are on the job market.

 By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it.

 You live eighty years, and at best you get about six minutes of pure magic
  George Carlin

 For the past 20 years, I've been privileged to pastor a congregation of people whose focus and heart have been the gospel of Jesus Christ, who reveals God's love for all people and who by the Holy Spirit empowers us to live and to serve in love.

 We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love - first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.
  Albert Camus

 For the best part of 100 years, movies made stories about a certain view of love, and it shaped us all, whether we like it or not. Our lessons were about how to look at people of the other sex. How you kiss, what you say. We learned a lot about love from the movies. We've matured a bit, and we can see there's a lot more to love.
