Older fatherhood isnt all bad: testosterone rates drop about 1% per year as men age, making them less reactive and more patient, and a professionally established middle-aged man is likely to have more time and money to devote to his kids than a twenty-something whos just getting started. – Jeffrey Kluger

When it comes to raising civilized kids there are no hard rules, but there are two things on which most parents agree: Boys are generally wilder than girls, and adolescents are wilder than kids of any other age. If youve got an adolescent boy, youre in the sweet spot for trouble. – Jeffrey Kluger

I grew up on a farm in a small town where you do or say one thing and everybody knows about it.

So I learned at a very young age just to keep my mouth shut. – Garrett Hedlund

I dont look my age, I dont feel my age and I dont act my age. To me age is just a number. – Joan Collins

We dont buy junk food and give them options of fresh fruit, yogurt, raw almonds, or dried whole grain cereals for snack time. – Cat Cora

Filth and old age, Im sure you will agree, are powerful wardens upon chastity. – Geoffrey Chaucer

Working on the Ice Age movies, Im really proud to be in them. – Seann William Scott
