SAMUEL ULLMAN QUOTES

When ... the central places of your heart are covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then are you grown old, indeed!

SAMUEL ULLMAN, From the Summit of Years, Four Score

In the central place of your heart there is a wireless station. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, grandeur, courage, and power from the earth, from men and from the Infinite--so long are you young. When the wires are all down and the central places of your heart are covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then are you grown old, indeed!

SAMUEL ULLMAN, "Youth", The Silver Treasury, Prose and Verse for Every Mood

Youth is not a time of life--it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of red cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a temper of the will; a quality of the imagination; a vigor of the emotions; it is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempermental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over a life of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty, more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals.
