I was never in a hurry in my life. He lives long who enjoys life and bears no jealousy of others, whose heart harbors no malice or anger, who sings a lot and cries a little, who rises and retires with the sun, who likes to work, and who knows how to rest . . .
~ Shirali Mislimov (166-year-old man)
Peace. Joy. Adventures. Lots of Love.
May all these things and more be yours!

hey there monkey! Nice quote by Shirali. Never heard of anyone living 166, at least not since biblical times...

here is a bit more information on Shirali:
Shirali Baba Muslimov (also Mislimov) (Azerbaijani: Şirəli Müslümov, Ширəли Mүcлүмов, شیرعلی مسلموف, pronounced [ʃiɾæˈli mysˈlymov]) (March 19, 1805? – September 2, 1973) was a Talysh shepherd from the village of Barzavu in the Lerik region of Azerbaijan, a mountainous area near the Iranian border. He was claiming to be the oldest person who ever lived when he died on September 2 (or 4), 1973 at the alleged age of 168. This is 46 years older than French woman Jeanne Calment, who has had the longest confirmed lifespan in history at 122.
