The days are long, but the years are short.

One boob was a 36B while the other was 36D - I've had big boobs since the sixth grade and walked around with double bras on for five years before getting surgery.

I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: Love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity to name a few.

A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

Anyone can be a DJ but it's understanding how to read a crowd and keeping them on the floor is what takes years of experience.

Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.

I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say; I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.

If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand.

Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.

I've had great fans, and they've been so loyal over the years.

One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate and strong.

There was years when my father didn't even make a hundred grand - or barely made a hundred grand - and sure, we had a maid, but she only came twice a week. What do you think happened the other five days? You think those dishes washed themselves? You think those clothes got themselves in the hamper?

'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.

Love grows more tremendously full, swift, poignant, as the years multiply.

Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
