  Marcus Tullius Cicero

 How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrid, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young. It will never be older than this particular day of June. . . . If it was only the other way! If it was I who were to be always young, and the picture that were to grow old! For this--for this--I would give everything! Yes, there is nothing in the whole world I would not give!
  Oscar Wilde

 Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired - morning, noon, and night. But the body is never t
  General George S. Patton

 People grow old only by deserting their ideals, Macarthur had written. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. 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. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.
  Douglas MacArthur

 No matter the era, it seems that children always want to grow up to be police officers - to wear the uniform, enforce the law, catch the criminal. There's a timeless appeal to this impulse. It reflects a young mind's growing understanding of right and wrong. It reflects a young heart's yearning to keep people safe and families whole.

 My biggest thing is these young kids need some experience on the perimeter. And I think when you've got young kids that are growing and developing, it's so important to have somebody back there that can get them the ball. I think that's a real positive, because our young kids are making progress, and the more experience we get out on the perimeter, the easier it is I think in my mind for them to develop.

 He just looks like a young horse. He has enough body and size, you expect him to grow.

 Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
  Henry Ford

 I think it would give young people a lot of hope. And not just young people living with autism, but all young people. It would help them to reach their goals and dreams. and tell them never to give up. And also, be ready for your shot when called upon.

 We had to do it up against a very strict salary/payroll guideline, and that meant we had to go young in order to afford the replacements on our roster. And if we have to go young, we always prefer to go young with our own guys because we know we've done our due diligence drafting people, checking character of people, learning about their personalities and watching them grow and mature.

 It's important to protect your young starters. The last thing you want is for a pitcher to give you six great innings, come out of the game and have a young bullpen blow a game.

 We are happier in many ways when we are old than when we were young. The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.
  Winston Churchill

 It's a positive for the Red Cross in getting the young children of the community reading so they can grow up to be conscious young adults.

 These guys keep me young, ... Any time you can see a young man grow up to be an old vet, it's always a blessing because you always talk about, 'I remember when the game was so fast for you. ...'

 He's still not full speed. That's really too bad for the young man. He had an opportunity here and his body hasn't let him do it. He's a talented young man. He could help our team.
