Robert Louis Stevenson on age

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others.

To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.

Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary.

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
