I hope that I have given happiness to others. I hope I have given children to the world, and that I have made some kind of a mark for myself here.

What sort of an age is this where a man becomes one’s enemy only when his back is turned?

One of the things you realize about gettin older is that not everybody is goin to get older with you.

I just say the moral out of my life is don’t quit at age 65, maybe your boat hasn’t come in yet. Mine hadn’t.

I was sixty-six years old. I still had to make a living. I looked at my social security check of 105 dollars and decided to use that to try to franchise my chicken recipe. Folks had always liked my chicken.
