Half A Year With You Quotes

Karate is not a game. It is not a sport. It is not even a system of self-defense. Karate is half physical exercise and half spiritual.

You might think that as people get older, they spend money more freely out of the sheer desire to make the most of it before it’s truly too late. But the opposite tends to happen. In general, spending among American households declines as people age. For example, the Consumer Expenditure Survey, conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, found that in 2017, average annual spending for households headed by 55-to-64-year-olds was $65,000. Average spending fell to $55,000 for those between 65 and 74; and spending fell again to $42,000 for those 75 and older. This overall decline occurred despite a rise in healthcare expenses, because most other expenses, such as clothing and entertainment, were much lower. The decline in spending over time was even more acute for retirees with more than $1 million in assets, according to separate research conducted by J.P. Morgan Asset Management, which analyzed data from more than half a million of its customers. — Bill Perkins

At the high end, retirees who had $500,000 or more right before retirement had spent down a median of only 11.8 percent of that money 20 years later or by the time they died. That’s more than 88 percent left over — which means that a person retiring at 65 with half a million dollars still has more than $440,000 left at age 85! At the lower end, retirees with less than $200,000 saved up for retirement spent a higher percentage as you might expect, since they had less to spend overall — but even this group’s median members had spent down only one-quarter of their assets 18 years after retirement. — Bill Perkins
More than half a century has passed, and yet each spring, when I wander into the primrose wood, I see the pale yellow blooms and smell their sweetest scent - for a moment I am seven years old again and wandering in that fragrant wood. — Gertrude Jekyll
I remind myself Vincent van Gogh died without having sold a single painting. Like, art is not measured by the trappings that people attached to it.

And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge. — J. R. R. Tolkien
Raising crops to feed animals for human consumption requires a lot of land.

But the gunpowder destroys itself along with its victim, while a book can keep on exploding for centuries. — Christopher Morley

Tony Awards boost Broadway attendance and sell the shows on the road. They're the sugar to swat the fly.

So when we're talking Tonys, we're talking moolah. — John Lahr

I eat vegetables and I eat grain and I take care of myself and I don't think I look that bad, do I? — Traci Bingham
