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, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, 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, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
