It takes a long time to become young.

Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age.

I remember my youth and the feeling that I could last forever, outlast the sea, the earth and all men.

Age in a virtuous person, of either sex, carries in it an authority which makes it preferable to all the pleasures of youth.

Old age is no place for sissies.

He who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition, youth and age are equally a burden.

These are the arks, the trophies, I erect, That fortify thy name against old age.

The weight of this sad time we must obey; speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. The oldest hath borne most: we that are young, shall never see so much, nor live so long.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he as imagined, he will meet with success unexpectedly in common hours.

What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do.

If something is wrong, fix it now. But train yourself not to worry, worry fixes nothing!

Towering in the confidence of twenty-one.

If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than others their opinions more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.

Thinking too well of people often allows them to be better than they otherwise would.

You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.

If everyone was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes.

Cherish that which is within you, and shut off that which is without; for much knowledge is a curse.

Unless above himself he can erect himself, how poor a thing is man!
