Youth is not a time of life;it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks,red lips and suppleknees;it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imgaination,a vigor of the emotiom;it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adenture 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 mumber of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years msy wrenkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. worry, year, self-distrust bows the heart and truns the spring back to dust .

I'll second those sentiments! Great words hh! I'm sure we all know young people in their 60s/70s+ and old people in their 30s. Forever young
