At 60, the mind was sharp but the body complained. The legs were willing to make all the right moves but the muscles gave out too early.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
At 60, I could do the same things I could do at 30, if I could only remember what those things are.
All I can say is that I've always felt like a very old soul. When I was 3, I felt 60.
When I turned 50, I said to myself, well, if this is what it's like turning 50, I can't wait to turn 60 because I still felt very, very mentally and physically good, outside my back surgery.
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.
I always thought I was going to die before I was 60.
Turning 60 had an impact on my heart and soul, I must say, because you're dealing with time: past, present, and future. You suddenly realize you've come down the road quite a ways.
The wonderful thing about age is that your knees don't work as well, you can't run down steps quite as easily and obviously you can't lift heavy weights. But your mind doesn't feel any different.
I was excited to turn 60.
I think 60 is when many people hit their prime. We elect many of our presidents in their 60s. At that age, people are full of ideas and their best self. I wanted to dig into my potential and bring out my best self.
After thirty, a body has a mind of its own.
