Youth

643 views. 2019-7-17 16:37

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 the will,a quality of the imagination,a vigor of the emotions;it is the freshness of the deep springsof life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.
This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.
Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.
We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry,fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether sixty or sixteen,there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders,the unfailing child-like 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,courage and power from man and from the Infinite,so long as you are young.
When the aerials are down,and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism,then you've grown old,even at twenty,but so long as your aerials are up,to catch the waves of optimism,there is hope you may die young at eighty.
