Retirement?

I have had some recent radio interviews on the subject of retirement. Someone suggested blogging a bit on the subject. Therefore I thought I’d begin with a quote or two or three on the subject:

Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drive into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark.
Samuel Johnson

You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do while you're down there.
George Burns

In six days God created everything. On the seventh day he rested. He did not retire.

Paul H. Yarbrough
