All lovely things will fade and die;
And youth, that's now so bravely
spending, Will beg a penny by and by.

something of the old man in him,
so I am no less pleased with an old man

Youth is not a time of life, it is
a state of mind. You are as old as
your doubt, your fear, your

is to keep your faith young.
Keep your self-confidence young.
Keep your hope young.
?Luella F. Phean

If they aren't, that's news too.

they will drop you.

Youth is not a time of life; it is a
state of mind; it is not a matter

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.
?Samuel Ullman
Youth today must be strong, unafraid,
and a better taxpayer than its father.
