When people who are fairly fortunate in their material circumstances don’t find sufficient enjoyment to make life valuable to them, this is usually because they care for nobody but themselves. -John Stuart Mill

Set your goals high, and don’t stop until you get a quarter of the way there. That, my friend, should land you a stable spot in middle management where you can coast until they force you out when your age makes you a ‘healthcare liability.’ -Jared Bilksi and Andrew Knott

Never put off doing something because you think you are too old - it's no good waiting until you get younger.

Something I drilled into my son is NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER leave the key in the lathe chuck.

Most wise aphorisms were never uttered by the people to whom they are attributed.

If a hammer doesn't fix it, it's an electrical problem...

My dad (a boomer) also said "Don't force it, just get a bigger hammer."

I've come to realize that no matter the size of the object I drop, it will bounce or roll to the most difficult spot for me to reach.

The older I get the more I realize wearing tan or khaki pants in public is a bad idea. You know what I mean, right?

I think that’s what Paul Simon meant when he wrote “Hello darkness my old friend...”

Yes, sadly I do.

Never pick your nose in public without having a plan on what you're going to do with it.
