 | "As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so
I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He
that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in
mind." | |
 |
Marcus Tullius Cicero
|
|
| "As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers
of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the
youth before him, he is lost." | |

|
| "Every young man should aim at independence and should prepare
himself for a vocation; above all, he should so manage his life that the
steps of his progress are taken without improper aids; that he calls no
one master, that he does not win or deserve the reputation of being a tool
of others, and that if called to public service he may assume its duties
with the satisfaction of knowing that he is free to rise to the height of
his opportunity." | |

Charles Evans Hughes

|
| "I love the acquaintance of young people, because, in the first
place, I don"t like to think myself growing old. In the next place, young
acquaintances must last longest, if they do last; and then young men have
more generous sentiments in every respect." | |
|
Dr. Samuel Johnson
|
|
| "I"m focussing on what I haven"t attained, not what I have. A lot has
come to me early. I don"t want to get consumed with that. Winners live in
the present tense. People who come up short are consumed with future or
past. I want to be living in the now. My goal is to play one full game in
the now, but I haven"t even gotten past the first inning yet. I start
thinking about where my mom is or if my dogs have been fed. The average
human has 2,000 thoughts a day. The really accomplished have 1,500 because
you can focus longer. I need to learn how to focus longer." | |

egg." | |

Sir James Matthew Barrie
|
|
| "If I were to give advice to young people, high-achieving young
people for example, I"d have to say, don"t neglect your family. Politics
is important, sitting at the head table is glamorous. Traveling around the
world, trying to do something for world peace was wonderful. But ... Family
and friends and faith are what are really matters in life. And I know that.
I see it so clearly now." | |
|
George Herbert Walker Bush

|
| "Through our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched
with fire. It was given us to learn at the outset that life is a profound
and passionate thing. While we are permitted to scorn nothing but
indifference, and do not pretend to undervalue the worldly rewards of
ambition, we have seen with our own eyes, beyond and above the gold
fields, the snowy heights of honor, and it is for us to bear the report to
those who come after us." | |

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

| "Youth is not entirely a time of life; it is a state of mind. Nobody
grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting
their ideals. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubts; as
young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope,
as old as your despair." | |
|
General Douglas MacArthur
