G.C. Droplets October 1983 -"Honour Thy Father and Thy Mother"
Live with enthusiasm! Nobody grows old by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your despair. -Paul H. Dunn (quoting Douglas McArthur)
