More quotes by Andy Rooney
I've done a lot of complaining here, but of all the things I've complained about, I can't complain about my life.
Andy Rooney
I've learned... That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.
Andy Rooney
I obviously have a knack for getting on paper what a lot of people have thought and didn't realize they thought. And they say, 'Hey, yeah!' And they like that.
Andy Rooney
Everyone hates war, everyone says.
Andy Rooney
The closing of a door can bring blessed privacy and comfort - the opening, terror. Conversely, the closing of a door can be a sad and final thing - the opening a wonderfully joyous moment.
Andy Rooney
People like to say, You're only as old as you feel, but it isn't true. It's just something old people say to make themselves feel good about their age. You're as old as you are.
Andy Rooney
I've learned... That having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.
Andy Rooney
When I write, I use an Underwood #5 made in 1920. Someone gave me an electric typewriter, but there's no use pretending you can use machinery that thinks faster than you do. An electric typewriter is ready to go before I have anything to say.

Writers don't retire. I will always be a writer.
Andy Rooney
In the United States alone, we spend seven times as much on war as on education. There's something wrong there. On this Memorial Day, we should certainly honor those who have died at war, but we should dedicate this day, not so much to their memory, but to the search for a way to end the idiocy of the wars that killed them.
Andy Rooney
Taxes are important. President Bush's tax proposals leave no rich person behind. Voters approve of President Bush helping the kind of people they wish they were one of.
Andy Rooney
Space, like Switzerland, should be neutral.
Andy Rooney
Once you pass forty, a dime isn't worth bending over to pick up if you drop one.
Andy Rooney
I think Dan [Rather] is transparently liberal. Now he may not like to hear me say that. I always agree with him, too. But I think he should be more careful.
Andy Rooney
I didn't get old on purpose, it just happened. If you're lucky, it could happen to you.
Andy Rooney
I've learned... That love, not time, heals all wounds.
Andy Rooney
I've learned... That you should never say no to a gift from a child.
Andy Rooney
Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.
Andy Rooney
Sooner or later the world will have to return to the good old days when we fought wars and killed people the old-fashioned way, one at a time.
Andy Rooney
If dogs could talk it would take a lot of the fun out of owning one.
Andy Rooney
