Youth is not like a new garment which we can keep fresh and fair by wearing sparingly. Youth, while we have it, we must wear daily: and it will fast wear away.

I've wandered east, I've wandered west,
Through many a weary way;
But never, never can forget
The love of life's young day.

I promise to keep on living as though I expected to live forever. Nobody
grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting
their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up wrinkles the soul.

I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more - the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort - to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires - and expires, too soon, too soon - before life itself.
