youth is a precious gift and a golden time in our life. when we are young, we are strong and healthy. it is the time for us to prepare ourselves to become responsible citizens.
youth comes only once in a lifetime, therefore, it is important that we should not waste those years in idleness and bad living. this is also the time when our memories are best. we are able to learn more during this time than when we become older. during our younger years, we have the enthusiasm to set high goals for ourselves. we also try to overcome obstacles which are placed in our way.
if we realize how precious youth is, we will be fulfilled when we are young as well as when we are older. if we waste our youth, we will spend the rest of our lives wishing we could be young again.
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, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. this often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20. nobody grows merely by the number of years;we grow old by deserting our ideas. years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike 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 infinite, so long as you are young. when the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up.
youth is not a time of life, it's the deep springs of life.
youth is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees, it's a matter of the will, a qulity of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions.youth is an apetite for adventures, it often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 without a time of years, but the ambitions.there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, it's obious when the youth.
