“To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age
“While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be
“Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul
“If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old
“Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success
“Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young.
