INSPIRATIONAL RETIREMENT QUOTES
What kind of inspirational retirement quote do you want to hear at your retirement party? Whole lots of those parties are royal roasts. Janelle's was the first retirement party that I went to. She was retiring from the library. You would assume that we all got her books, or perhaps a typewriter so that she could pen the great American novel. Not for Janelle! She was heading off to live in southern France. It was just something she had always wanted to do. So, instead of cards with inspirational retirement quotes, we all chipped in got her a little stack of francs -- enough to help her furnish her new cottage. Now, many years later, she is still there, and is very happy that she made that move. So, for Janelle, who never got a proper roast, here are some inspirational retirement quotes for you. ** ** Experience: A comb life
gives you after you lose your hair. Maybe no one actually
turns into an adult. Maybe you just get to be an older and older
kid. Maybe the whole world is being run by old kids. It is better to wear out
than to rust out. Every time I think that I
am getting old, and gradually going to the grave, something else
happens. The fact was I didn't want
to look my age, but I didn't want to act the age I wanted to look
either. I also wanted to grow old enough to understand that
sentence. This is one of my favorite inspirational retirement quotes: We have a lot to do ...
People don't understand this. They think we're sitting around in
rocking chairs, which isn't at all true. Why, we don't even own a
rocking chair. History will be kind to
me, for I intend to write it. Let us endeavor to live so
that when we die even the undertaker will be sorry. Life is short, but it's
wide. Experience is the name
everyone gives to his mistakes. You don't stop laughing
because you grow old; you grow old because you stop laughing. One of my all time favorite quotes. I like including this inspirational retirement quote for Janelle and all the other dreamers. Twenty years from now you
will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you
did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe
harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover. And this inspirational retirement quote captures the feeling of most retirees: There's many a good tune
played on an old fiddle. Always be nice to those
younger than you, because they are the ones who will be writing about you. If we could sell our
experiences for what they cost us, we would be millionaires. When a man retires, his
wife gets twice the husband but only half the income. Half our life is spent
trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life
trying to save. I'm now as free as the
breeze -- with roughly the same income. A retired husband is often
a wife's full-time job. Retirement at sixty-five
is ridiculous. When I was sixty-five I still had pimples. Retirement: That's when
you return home from work one day and say, "Hi, Honey, I'm home -
forever." The time for action is
now. It's never too late do something. The proper function of man
is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to
prolong them. I shall use my time. He who has a why to live
for can bear almost any how. The purpose of life is to
live a life of purpose. And an inspirational retirement quote from the sages: As long as you live, keep
learning how to live. Back to top of Inspirational Retirement Quotes
