Groucho Marx on age

Those are my principles. If you don’t like them I have others.

From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.

Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men. The other 999 follow women.

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
