About This Quote
It is said that there is nothing that keeps its youth, so far as I know, but a tree and truth. The quote means, in a nutshell, that it is true that we may become old and we may die; but we do not become young again by any such thing as stopping growing by chance, as it were; but by living rightly. And if we live rightly, our age will be like no other age; God's image will shine through us; and we shall be as young as ever we were.
