It is the fight alone that pleases us not the victory.

The struggle alone pleases us not the victory.

There is a certain age at which a child looks at you in all earnestness and delivers a long pleased speech in all the true inflections of spoken English but with not one recognizable syllable.

Many women my age have known the experience of giving up crucial parts of themselves to please the man they love.

I avoid talking before the youth of the age as I would dancing before them: for if one's tongue don't move in the steps of the day and thinks to please by its old graces it is only an object of ridicule.

I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it at my age I'm very pleased to be anywhere.

As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body but can never be so in mind.
