Nachman of Bratslav on age

When a man is able to take abuse with a smile, he is worthy to become a leader.

The man who acts humble in order to win praise is guilty of the lowest form of pride.

A man should believe in God through faith, not because of miracles.

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.
