Adapted from the bestselling book, with 195,000 copies in print, it’s a year of astute observations, life lessons, and red-hot zingers from men and women blessed with the wisdom of experience. And what treasures they share! Always think in the long term: “Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age—as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight.” (Phyllis Diller) Keep things in perspective: “Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.” (Victoria Holt) And remember to laugh: “If you think it’s hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.” (Jack Lemmon)

Wise, Useful, and Entertaining,
This review is from: Age Doesn't Matter Unless You're a Cheese (Paperback)
While this is not a mega-sized collection of quotes (just one quote per page) it IS an amazing selection of time-tested wisdom, humor, and experience. I collect quotations; and this book was an outstanding resource from that standpoint, since the preponderant majority of the quotes were "keepers." I have collected 20,000+ in a personal database over more than a decade (an odd hobby, some would say, but I guess I'm pretty easily amused). While a few of the quotes familiar to me, most were fresh and original, and the preponderant majority were "keepers." But you don't have to be a quotation collector to enjoy this book; if you're looking for inspiration, "words to live by," (from folks who have "been there,done that"), or if you just enjoy reading books that give you something to think about and more than a few chuckles along the way, I believe you will thoroughly enjoy it.

Words of Wisdom from People Who Have Lived,
By
This review is from: Age Doesn't Matter Unless You're a Cheese (Paperback)
Every quote listed in this book comes from people who were over 70 years old at the time, so they know of whence they speak. This is a light read, but a truly enjoyable one. Turn to any page, and read sagacious advice on a variety of subjects, from well-known figures ranging from Julia Child to Golda Meir, and everywhere in between. This is a book that will be returned to again and again for its wit and wisdom. And, as we age, the words become more true to life. Age does not necessarily equal wisdom, but in the case of this collection, it certainly applies.

Wonderful little book that makes you think....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Age Doesn't Matter Unless You're a Cheese (Paperback)
What a lovely gift this was! It's not yet another book about "ha ha, you're getting older," but a very meaningful collection of thoughts from older people about what they've gained in perspective as they have aged. I received this as a gift and am planning to buy some for other friends now. I truly found this to be extremely insightful, inspiring and thought-provoking. Makes getting another year older (no, I won't mention my age!) much more pleasant!
