Is not all this a paraphrase of what Emerson has said better than any other? He who loves is in no condition old. Not lives and lives for self, not loves self and self alone, but he who loves! Emerson, building better perhaps than he knew, has voiced the deepest truth of the soul. Love cannot die and love will not let die nor yet grow old. And yet as a final word, and more needed than all else, I would say that there is only one way to grow old, and that too is the only way not to grow old. That way is to know, to love, to serve. “Grow old along with me! The Best is yet to be, The last of life for which the first was made; Our times are in His hand Who saith, ‘A whole I planned,’ Youth shows but half: Trust God: see all nor be afraid.” End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of How to Face Life, by Stephen Samuel Wise
