03经典背诵
Youth is a State of Mind青春是一种心态
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 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 aman of 60 more than a boy of 20.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 spring back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16，there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder，the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of thegame 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 20，butas long as your aerials are up，to catch waves of optimism，there is hope you may die young at 80.
青春不是生命的一个阶段；青春是一种心态。它与绯红的脸颊、红润的嘴唇和灵活的膝盖无关；它与意志、想象力和丰富的感情相关；它是生命深处泉水的甘甜。
青春是性格的强势，战胜懦弱的勇气和战胜安逸的冒险精神。这往往存在于60岁的人中，而非20岁的青年男子。没有人仅仅因为数年就变老。背弃我们的理想，渐渐 变老。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤，但是放弃热情，我们的灵魂也慢慢起皱。忧虑，害怕，不自信缠绕着心灵，使人意气消沉。
无论是60岁还是16岁，在每个人的心中，都有求知的欲望，和对未来和生活永不褪色的天真期望。在你我心中，都有一座无线电台：只要它从人类和造物主那里接收 美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信息，你就永远年轻。
一旦天线落下，你的灵魂被玩世不恭和悲观厌世的冰雪所覆盖，你就已经老去，即使年方20。但只要你架起天线，捕捉乐观信号，即使80岁死去之时，你仍然年轻。
