Youth i not a time of life; it i a tate of mind; it i not a matter of roy cheek, red lip and upple knee; it i a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotion; it i the frehne of the deep pring of life.
Youth mean a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, 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 pring back to dut.
Whether 60 or 16, there i in every human being‘ heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike 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 receive meage of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, o long are you 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.
