YOUTH
Samuel Ullman
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 springs of 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 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.
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 twenty, but as long
as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there
is hope you may die young at eighty.
