"As you get older you try to..." - Quote by Clint Eastwood

“You have to trust your instincts. There is a moment when an actor has it, and he knows it.”

“I'm just naturally gravitating towards different things. As you mature, different subject matters. And as you're older, you can't play as many parts, or you shouldn't be playing the parts that you used to play. But also there's the opportunity to play parts that you couldn't have.”

“When I was young there was no respect for the young, and now that I am old there is no respect for the old”

“America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked 'insufficient funds.'”

“Time marches on and sooner or later you realize it is marching across your face.”

“Your lordship, though not clean past your youth, have yet some smack of age in you, some relish of the saltiness of time.”

“Pride can go without domestics, without fine clothes, can live in a house with two rooms, can eat potato, purslain, beans, lyed corn, can work on the soil, can travel afoot, can talk with poor men, or sit silent well contented with fine saloons. But vanity costs money, labor, horses, men, women, health and peace, and is still nothing at last; a long way leading nowhere.--Only one drawback; proud people are intolerably selfish, and the vain are gentle and giving.”

“If you want to be wisely selfish, care for others”

“We legislate against forestalling and monopoly; we would have a common granary for the poor; but the selfishness which hoards thecorn for high prices, is the preventative of famine; and the law of self-preservation is surer policy than any legislation can be.”
