I was working probably at the age of 10, when I had my first paper route. I had every different kind of job you could possibly imagine as a young kid. – Howard Schultz
I think I’m realising that careers for tennis players are very short. On the women’s side now, players are starting to peak later on, but the average age is about 31, 32 when you finish playing, so I want to make the most of it while I’m young, fit, and healthy. I don’t want to waste any time. – Heather Watson
I don’t tap dance, and I don’t think you can learn to tap dance in three weeks at my ripe old age. – Huey Lewis
It is instilled in thousands of American males from an early age that one of their requirements is to be able to both dish out and take a lot of pain. They are taught the rules of this road in gyms, rings, backyards and fields all over America. – Henry Rollins
Just as we reject racism, sexism, ageism, and heterosexism, we reject speciesism. The species of a sentient being is no more reason to deny the protection of this basic right than race, sex, age, or sexual orientation is a reason to deny membership in the human moral community to other humans. – Gary L. Francione
I wanted to be a forest ranger or a coal man. At a very early age, I knew I didn’t want to do what my dad did, which was work in an office. – Harrison Ford
Joe Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972 at age 30. Somewhere around 1992, he should have had to go out and get a real job. – Howie Carr
I didn’t choose Russia but Russia chose me. I had been fascinated from an early age by the culture, the language, the literature and the history to the place. – Helen Dunmore
I began drinking alcohol at the age of thirteen and gave it up in my fifty sixth year; it was like going straight from puberty to a mid-life crisis. – George Montgomery
I left the golden age of documentaries to go into the golden days of the ‘CBS Evening News.’ You could see that the audiences were eroding. – Howard Stringer
I started doing comedy with no plan to do voice work. Voice work came as a function of doing comedy and meeting people who eventually develop shows like that. I didn’t seek out from an early age to be on cartoons. – H. Jon Benjamin
From a very early age, I was in tune with pop radio, and most of this listening was done driving. We had an old ’67 or ’65 Buick LeSabre, and whenever we would drive around, I would actually stick my head right against the speakers in the back and sing along to the music. – Greg Graffin
After you’re older, two things are possibly more important than any others: health and money. – Helen Gurley Brown
I meet so many that think population growth is a major problem in regard to climate change. But the number of children born per year in the world has stopped growing since 1990. The total number of children below 15 years of age in the world are now relatively stable around 2 billion. – Hans Rosling
I think if you’re writing from the heart, very often, the subject matter will adjust as you age… but you try to write the best song you can possibly write. For us, we have the same basic elements that make up the America sound. – Gerry Beckley
At age eleven, I became a member of the circulating library of my home town. From there on I was rarely seen outside but was reading two to four books per week, the subjects ranging from archaeology over ethnology and geography to zoology. Needless to say that I did not do much homework. – Hartmut Michel
International politics is no longer a zero-sum game but a multi-dimensional arena where cooperation and competition often occur simultaneously. Gone is the age of blood feuds. World leaders are expected to lead in turning threats into opportunities. – Hassan Rouhani
I tend to think of stories and books as being for everyone, just with an ‘entry reading age’ rather than an age range. – Garth Nix
Old age is the supreme evil, for it deprives man of all pleasures while allowing his appetites to remain, and it brings with it every possible sorrow. Yet men fear death and desire old age. – Giacomo Leopardi
To be free in an age like ours, one must be in a position of authority. That in itself would be enough to make me ambitious. – Hannah Arendt
The story of ‘Mirror Mirror’ is in many ways a story about evolution. It’s about the evolution of a child into an adult. It’s about the evolution of those dwarves into something a little less rock-like, a little more humanoid. It’s about the evolution of history, too, from the darkness of the Middle Ages into the light of the Age of Reason. – Gregory Maguire
We need to evolve a uniform law which does not leave room for any confusion and states that the minimum marriageable age for women is 18 years and that for men is 21 years. But the demand for this should come from within the community. – Girija Vyas
That means that every human being – without distinction of sex, age, race, skin color, language, religion, political view, or national or social origin – possesses an inalienable and untouchable dignity. – Hans Kung
