While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be.
Amos Bronson AlcottNor do we accept, as genuine the person not characterized by this blushing bashfulness, this youthfulness of heart, this sensibility to the sentiment of suavity and self-respect. Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds. None are truly great without this ornament.
Amos Bronson Alcott
