Youth is not a period of life, it is a state of mind, of will, a quality of imagination, the vigor of emotions, the predominance of courage over shyness, it is a desire for adventure over apathy.
No one grows old just because they live a certain number of years, the individual ages because he has defected from ideals. The man is as young as his faith and as old as his doubts, young as his self-confidence, and old as his fears, young as his hope and old as his abandonment. Until a man's heart receives messages of beauty, joy, courage, greatness, power, whether from the earth, from man, from infinity, man will not be young.
