"I think God has planned the strength and beauty of youth to be

physical. But the strength and beauty of age is spiritual.

We gradually lose the strength and beauty that is temporary

so we'll be sure to concentrate on the strength and beauty

which is forever."

egoism and it brings a

touchtone of our natures."
