Achieved!” Schuller knew how to grab the attention of youth and if his enthusiasm didn’t inspire them then his words certainly did!

There are so many thought-provoking quotes of age, youth and living. It is true the young know little about living but live life to the fullest and older people know a lot about living but seem content with the knowing.
