The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles." ― Ralph Waldo Emerson Topic(s): Age Tags: woman More From Ralph Waldo Emerson "We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body."

I want to have good posture, I want to be healthy and be an example to my children."― Sting "I don’t know of a Democrat – whether they’re a conservative, a centrist or a liberal Democrat – that doesn’t think that it’s important to have quality jobs that pay decent wages so that families can support themselves, so that they can have the dignity of being able to afford health care, put money aside for pension, buy a home."― Tom Vilsack "We pay when old for the excesses of youth."― J.
