“Youth is not a time of life - it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of red cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a temper of the will; a quality of the imagination; a vigor of the emotions; it is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempermental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over a life of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty, more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals.” PeopleMenYearsMindMeanMatterStatesGrowsImaginationNumbersEmotionQualityBoysYouthAdventureSpringRedIdealsTwentiesLipsEaseKneesFiftyAppetiteState Of MindTemperCheeksVigorFreshnessTimidityRed LipsSupple Author:Samuel Ullman
“At whatever time highly skilled physicians shall have developed the healing of illnesses by means of foods, and shall make provision for simple foods, and shall prohibit humankind from living as slaves to their lustful appetites, it is certain that the incidence of chronic and diversified illnesses will abate, and the general health of all mankind will be much improved. This is destined to come about. In the same way, in the character, the conduct and the manners of men, universal modifications will be made.” MenWayMeanMadeCharacterCertainSimpleHealingMankindUniversalSlaveIllnessMannersAppetiteHumankindPhysiciansDestinedProvisionModificationLustfulIncidenceSimple Food Author:Abdu'l-Bahá
