1 Age

  • 1. I'm not afraid of aging.
  • 2. Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind it doesn't matter.
  • 3. It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I started walking at night with my sister in law which has been amazing. It really does something for you. It just kind of clears the mind it just makes you feel better things start to tighten a little bit.
  • 2. I have two younger sisters and I'm such an advocate of owning who you are as a person. Don't be ashamed or intimidated. Never feel like you are not amazing.
  • 3. The attitude is we live and let live. This is actually an amazing change in values in a rather short time and it's an example of freedom from religion.

3 Anger

  • 2. I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time then you really don't have a good life.
  • 3. If either player abandon the game by quitting the table in anger or in an otherwise offensive manner or by momentarily resigning the game or refuses to abide by the decision of the Umpire the game must be scored against him.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. But to sustain a marriage for 50 years you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'
  • 2. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
  • 3. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.

5 Architecture

  • 1. We all love musical architecture there's no doubt about that.
  • 2. Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup but the tea.
  • 3. Japanese architecture is very much copied in this country and in Europe.
