[font=Times New Roman][size=5][/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=5]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 will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of the life.[/size][/font]
[size=14pt][font=Times New Roman]Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
[/font][/size][size=14pt][font=Times New Roman]Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
[/font][/size][size=14pt][font=Times New Roman]Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human beings heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
[/font][/size][size=14pt][font=Times New Roman]When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as you your aerials are up, to receive waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.
