Most inspiring statement/moment (heard/said/read)?

Age is not a time in your life as much as a state of mind.
The ability to succeed depends on your will, quality of imagination, vigor in emotion, courage over timidity, appetite for adventure over ease.
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt. Young as your self-confidence, old as your fear, young as your hope, old as your despair.
If your heart can receive messages of beauty, cheer, courage, grandeur, the powers of Nature...then you will be young forever.
