A young man without ambition is an old man waiting to be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A man is not old as long as he is seeking something.
A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.
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.
The old man, of whom we know how he has become what he is, is more of an individual than the young man; for it is only in the course of an eventful life that men are differentiated into full individuality.
While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.
What's a man's age? He must hurry more, that's all; Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold.
There comes a time in every man's life when he must make way for an older man.
No man is poor who does not think himself so. But if in a full fortune with impatience he desires more, he proclaims his wants and his beggarly condition.
From my earliest youth, I have known that while one is obliged to plan with care the stages of one's journey, one is entitled to dream, and keep dreaming, of its destination. A man may feel as old as his years yet as young as his dreams.
A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.
