Observations On Life

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

At the end of every party there is always a girl crying

Sharpening a pencil with a knife makes you feel really manly.

Thanks for all the replies, and pretty much all of them were witty, and contained some truth, but all are stock replies you can find anywhere online. I was looking more for actual observations on life's oddities and absurdities.

Have you ever noticed that airline captains, no matter what accent or language, all try to sound like Chuck Yeager?

Well, that was sort of the point in my own reply. I have personally never said nor thought anything that I would have considered wise, just as I believe that I have never had an original thought in my life. Somewhere, sometime and somehow in course of human history, there was at least one person who had thought or said every thought or statement that I have said. As such, I've never considered myself qualified to dispense advice or insight.

Many of them never heard Chuck yeager in the first place.

You are only as old as you feel.
Boring, but when a Woman makes love to you like she was half her age, there must be aome truth to it - my hip hurts!

Well, someone else recently said "You're only as old as the woman you feel", so you could be right.

My dad had another observation on that. When I tried to describe the idea that time seems to go by faster as we age because every year we have more behind us to compare it to, he said "No, that's not it. Once you get over the hill, you pick up speed going down the other side."
