A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

To reform a world, to reform a nation, no wise man will undertake; and all but foolish men know, that the only solid, though a far slower reformation, is what each begins and perfects on himself.

By the time a man is 35 he knows that the images of the right man, the tough man, the true man which he received in high school do not work in life.

Ideas devour the ages as men are devoured by their passions. When man is cured, human nature will cure itself perhaps.

There comes a time in every man's life when he must make way for an older man.

A young man is so strong, so mad, so certain, and so lost. He has everything and he is able to use nothing.

A young man without ambition is an old man waiting to be.

Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.

I find that a man is as old as his work. If his work keeps him from moving forward, he will look forward with the work.
