Lord Tyrawley and I have been dead these two years, but we don't choose to have it known.

The worst of work nowadays is what happens to people when they cease to work.

I am a free man. I feel as light as a feather.

A person can stand almost anything except a succession of ordinary days.

We had no revolutions to fear, nor fatigues to undergo; all our adventures were by the fireside, and all our migrations from the blue bed to the brown.

When some people retire, it's going to be mighty hard to be able to tell the difference.

Don't you stay at home of evenings? Don you love a cushioned seat in a corner, by the fireside, with your slippers on your feet?

Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drive into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark.

Sooner or later I'm going to die, but I'm not going to retire.

Few men of action have been able to make a graceful exit at the appropriate time.

Retirement: Statutory senility.

Eating's going to be a whole new ball game. I may even have to buy a new pair of trousers.

Fear no more the heat o the sun, nor the furious winter's rages. Thou thy worldly task hast done, home art gone and taken thy wages.

A man is known by the company that keeps him on after retirement age.
