"While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be"
- Amos Bronson Alcott
About this Quote
This quote by Amos Bronson Alcott speaks to the concept that age is not a measure of one's vigor or worth. Instead, it is the individual's attitude and engagement with life that determines how they feel. By finding happiness and function in one's own pursuits, one can remain young at heart, no matter their age. This is a pointer to not let age define us, however to rather concentrate on the things that bring us pleasure and satisfaction. It is a suggestion to stay engaged with life and to never stop discovering and growing. Age needs to not be a barrier to living a complete and meaningful life. Rather, it must be seen as a chance to explore and discover new things.

"Only as long as a company can produce a desired, worthwhile, and needed product or service, and can command the public, will it receive the public dollar and succeed"
"Nobody's irreplaceable, including me. I think for too long we've had a cult of personality in this company and in this industry, and frankly, I'd like to see that diminish"
