“Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity. The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations.”
"No one ages by merely living several years. You will age by deserting your opinions. Years may give you wrinkles but giving up your enthusiasm will wrinkle your soul."
- Samuel Ullman
Motivation
"Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life."
- Samuel Ullman
Philosophy
"What virtue is there in a man who demonstrates goodness because he has been bred to it? It is his habit from youth. But a man who has known unkindness and want, for him to be kind and charitable to those who have been the cause of his misfortunes, that is a virtuous man."
Morality
"Whether a human being is good or bad, right or wrong, can only be determined based on circumstances."
Morality
"Always let your conscience be your guide."

Morality
"To the factory farmer, in contrast to the traditional farmer with his sense of honor and obligation, the animals are 'production units,' and accorded all the sympathy that term suggests."
- Matthew Scully
Morality
"When music is allowed to take the place of devotion and prayer, it is a terrible curse. Young people assemble together to sing, and, although professed Christians, frequently dishonor God and their faith by their frivolous conversation and their choice of music."
