"A State Of Mind..."
"Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind. It is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair, these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. Whether seventy or seventeen there is in every beings he... more »

Stop The 19th Century Myths: Your Sense Of Smell Is As Good As Your Dog's

But a weak nose in humans is really just a 19th century myth that won't go away, like homeopathy and organic food, according to a new analysis.
