Everyone takes pause at 40. It's the age you have to assess everything in your life. It's the fictitious marker that's always coming up when you're young. The world really does look at you to kind of have it together by 40 and be successful by 40. Whatever success means.

I did successfully kick tobacco at the age of 34. I smoked for like 20 years from 14 to 34.

I basically started playing violin at the age of six. That lasted about three years because my previous teacher died and the second teacher didn't really know how to successfully get me going.

Being successful at a very young age gave me the confidence and the capability to try out other things.

In the digital age of 'overnight' success stories such as Facebook the hard slog is easily overlooked.

I didn't have any success in show business until I was 30 to 31 years of age.

I was very successful from a very early age and I want to keep it.

Young man the secret of my success is that an early age I discovered that I was not God.

It's ironic that at age 32 at probably the greatest moment of my career with The Godfather having such an enormous success I wasn't even aware of it because I was somewhere else under the deadline again.

I'll tell you there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.

Have regular hours for work and play make each day both useful and pleasant and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful old age will bring few regrets and life will become a beautiful success.

Men of age object too much consult too long adventure too little repent too soon and seldom drive business home to the full period but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it you've got to start young.
