More quotes by Andy Rooney
I didn't get old on purpose, it just happened. If you're lucky, it could happen to you.
Andy Rooney
There are only a few safe targets left, just a few groups of people you can say anything negative about without getting in trouble for it. I've made a list of safe targets and I probably ought to stick to those. Politicians, for instance. You can say anything you want about them, and it doesn't matter how unfair you are. People seem to like it.

Andy Rooney
If you get murdered because you go on a date with someone you met on the Internet, you probably deserved it.
Andy Rooney
Unfortunately, propaganda works.
Andy Rooney
Writers don't often say anything that readers don't already know, unless its a news story. A writer's greatest pleasure is revealing to people things they knew but did not know they knew. Or did not realize everyone else knew, too. This produces a warm sense of fellow feeling and is the best a writer can do.
Andy Rooney
I just wish insignificance had more stature.
Andy Rooney
Once you pass forty, a dime isn't worth bending over to pick up if you drop one.
Andy Rooney
We can all be prouder to be human beings, because that's what they were. They make up for a lot of liars, cheats, and terrorists among us.
Andy Rooney
Obscenities... I think a lot of dumb people do it because they can't think of what they want to say and they're frustrated. A lot of smart people do it to pretend they aren't very smart - want to be just one of the boys.
Andy Rooney
Most of the people in the world are good and decent if you give them a chance to be.
Andy Rooney
