Famous quotes containing the words golden years, golden and/or years:

    “I call the years when our children are between six and twelve the “golden years,” not because everything’s perfect . . . but because the kids are capable and independent. . . . They’re becoming fascinating human beings who continually astound us and make us laugh. And they build our self-esteem. They still adore us for the most part, not yet having reached that age of thinking everything we do is dumb, old-fashioned and irrelevant.”
    —Vicki Lansky (20th century)

    “I prefer “you” in the plural, I want “you,”
    You must come to me, all golden and pale
    Like the dew and the air.
    And then I start getting this feeling of exaltation.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “A young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; for he is inexperienced in the actions that occur in life, but its discussions start from these and are about these; and, further, since he tends to follow his passions, his study will be vain and unprofitable, because the end that is aimed at is not knowledge but action. And it makes no difference whether he is young in years or youthful in character.”
    —Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
