It is curious to reflect, for example, upon the REMARKABLE legend of the Philosopher's Stone, one of the oldest and most universal beliefs, the origin of which, HOWEVER FAR back we penetrate into the records of the past, we do not probably trace its real SOURCE.

I WANT to always serve other PEOPLE. It could be the youngest guy in the GYM that looks up to me or the oldest FELLA. I just want to be there for them.

Before the GREEKS were the Tamils. The Tamils are one of the OLDEST CIVILIZATIONS that's STILL SURVIVING.

The OLDEST BOOK I have is a treatise on ARCHITECTURE from the 17th CENTURY.

The golden child may be the oldest one, UNLESS it's the youngest. It may be the toughest one, unless it's the most sensitive. It's not even necessary that MOM and DAD have the same FAVORITE - and typically they don't.

The Mark Birley FAN club, of which epic AMERICAN socialite Nan Kempner says she's the oldest living MEMBER, FOLLOWS him doggedly.

My dad, for the first 15 years of my career, on EVERY visit he made to a play or a film SET, would find the oldest PERSON on set and say, 'Do you THINK my son has a future?'

I am OBSESSED with my SISTERS. Being the OLDEST, I probably just have that in me. But I also think I am the youngest SOMETIMES. We all have moments when we are the MATERNAL one of the group.

I was the OLDEST of five children, each about a YEAR APART, and my mother, BLESS her heart, had her hands full.

I'm the YOUNGEST of FOUR BOYS, and my oldest brother, Todd, was like a father figure to me. We were very close even though we were 23 YEARS apart. When my parents were working, he was the one there for me. He was diagnosed with lung cancer when he was 15 years old.

One of the oldest HUMAN needs is having SOMEONE to wonder where you are when you don't COME home at night.

I'm the oldest of three KIDS and I remember my brother and sister STILL WATCHING Mr Rogers while I FELT too big and too sophisticated to watch it.

I am the OLDEST young designer in NEW YORK City.

Where I come from, it's a LITTLE BIT like ENGLAND. We START from the theater, and we do films a bit on our free time. The HISTORY of making films in Scandinavia is so old, it's like the oldest. The Nordic film industry started before Hollywood in Stockholm in Copenhagen.

42% of our management TEAM are women. So we've reset the GOAL to 50% by 2017. Because that's when Westpac becomes 200 years old as an institution - the oldest BANK, and INDEED the oldest company in AUSTRALIA. So that's a lovely point to reflect on.
