As we get older, it's important for us to help hand back some of what we've gained as we've grown older. It should be one of your responsibilities - it's almost like being a mentor.

We respect our elders. There is wisdom that comes from experience, and I am not going to stop learning from wise counsel.

Clearly older women and especially older women who have led an active life or elder women who successfully maneuver through their own family life have so much to teach us about sharing, patience, and wisdom.

As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.

Just from being with my grandmother, my maturity escalated. And now I'm in tune to the needs of people. It was a large responsibility, taking care of a human being.

When you're younger, you're trying to understand and make sense of what your parents are trying to instill in you, which is ultimately life experience. I remember being 17 and my dad trying to teach me the importance of responsibility.

Responsibility for learning belongs to the student, regardless of age.

The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.

The older you get the more capable you get at managing life.
