Youth i not a time of life; it i a tate of mind; it i not a matter of pink cheek, red lip and flexible knee; it i a matter of will, a quality of imagination, a vigor of the emotion;it i the frehne of the deep pring of life.
Youth mean a dipoitional control of courage over cowardice, of the appetite for adventure over the love of eae. Thi often exit in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grow old merely by a number of year. We grow old by deerting our ideal.
Year may wrinkle the kin, but to give up enthuiam wrinkle the oul. Worry, fear, elf-ditrut bow the heart and turn the pirit back to dut.
Whether 60 or 16, there i in every human being‘ heart the looking forward to wonder, the endle child-like appetite of what‘ next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there i a wirele tation: o long a it i receiving meage of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from God, you are young.
When the aerial are down, and your pirit i covered with now of cynicim and the ice of peimim, then you are grown old, even at 20, but a long a your aerial are up to catch wave of optimim, there i hope you may die young at 80.
