Noted British piano player Reg Dwight AKA Sir Elton Hercules John CH CBE turned 78 recently. And in honor of this unlikely as it seemed in the ‘70s occasion, here are ten of Elton’s most notable turns of phrases, the tenth being my favorite (and thankfully not his last).

  1. “Better to build a bridge than a wall.” — Elton John
