AGE
Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old. - Jonathon Swift

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 doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart, there is a recording chamber; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, and courage, so long are you young. - Douglas Mac Arthur

AIM
Thomas Carlyle was once talking to a young friend, and asked him what his aim in life was. The young man replied that he had none. "Get one, then, and get it quick," said Carlyle, sharply.

We must be able to do something well, that our work will be needed and valuable." - Kate L. Gates

Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood....Make big plans, aim high in hope and work. - Daniel H. Burnham

Children, you must remember something. 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. Having been alive, it won't be so hard in the end to lie down and rest. - Pearl Bailey
