Adolescence is the awkward age in the life of a youngster. They are too old for allowance and too young for credit card.
Adolescence is the period when a young man can show you the best crop of hair he will ever own.

ADVENTURE
When you are safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you are having an adventure you wish you were safe at home.
One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
ADVERSITY
Adversity is the first path to truth.

Advice is like the snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind.
Don’t fight forces; use them.
When people ask you for criticism, just know they want your praises.
The man who builds to every man’s advice will have a crooked house.
Nothing is given so freely as advice.
He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.
Whatever advice you give be brief.
AGE
Old age is when you find yourself using one bend-over to pick up two things.
The beauty of the old is the grey head.
No one is so old as to think he cannot live one more year.
Age is a sorry traveling companion.
When a woman tells you are age it’s right to look surprised! But don’t scowl.
The woman who tells you are age is either too young to have anything to lose or too old to have anything to gain.
AGGRESSIVENESS
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. (Eccl 9:10)
Not only strike while the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking.
You can not achieve anything without getting in someone way.
If you are the anvil be patient; if you are the hammer strike.
