Garrison Keillor on age

Jesus said the meek would inherit the earth, but so far all we’ve gotten is Minnesota and North Dakota.

That’s the news from Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.

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.
