Inspiring Quotes for All Ages

“Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite of adventure over the love of ease.” -Samuel Ullman

“The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.” -Muhammad Ali

“The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded upon fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older.” -William Lyon Phelps
