Quotable Quotes

[JohnM]

Not quite quotable quotes, but the intent is the same...

What are the ten most important things one needs to know about being over sixty?

1. Don't stop exercising. It's going to matter a lot as the years stack up.
2. People you know and love are going to die. You're going to get REALLY GOOD at saying goodbye.
3. The regrets of life stay with you. Jesus might forgive you, but YOU won't.
4. Speaking of regrets, mostly you'll regret the things you DIDN'T do.
5. Medical science is a real thing. Don't think you can just say “Oh, I don't like going to the doctor.” Don't be stupid — you'll either go (don't wait) or you'll suffer, no third choice.
6. Good food is cheaper than medicine.
7. You think real women/men have curves? Ha. Yeah, you keep believing that and you'll be in and out of hospitals for your last ten years. Slender is healthy; fat isn't.
8. Sex. Eh. You won't miss it all that much. Mostly you'll think “Jesus, I glad that's finally leaving me alone.”
9. Your life's not over. Go out and have adventures as a regular part of your life. Learn things, do things, be things. Make your Bucket List and DO it.
10. You've paid your dues as a member of society. It's time to be YOU. F*ck peoples' opinions.

Not quite quotable quotes, but the intent is the same...

What are the ten most important things one needs to know about being over sixty?

1. Don't stop exercising. True but I want to finish a marathon before I am 50.
2. People you know and love are going to die. Ouch
3. The regrets of life stay with you. Don’t I know it and the pile will likely get higher
4. Speaking of regrets, mostly you'll regret the things you DIDN'T do. Not saying the wrong thing, so keeping quiet could be good

Nice list their John, maybe have friends that are younger than you.
