Here are some retirement quotations I like best and I will keep for my reference:

Retirement: World's longest coffee break. ~Author Unknown

Life begins at retirement. ~Author Unknown

Retirement is wonderful. It's doing nothing without worrying about getting caught at it. ~Gene Perret

When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one who hired you to the one who married you. ~Gene Perret

There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want. ~Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes

You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. ~Author Unknown
