Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
心之所愿,无事不成。
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
青春不是生命的一个阶段,它是一种精神状态;青春亦非粉面红唇和冰肌柔骨,它是刚强的意志,优秀的创造力和充满活力的情感;它是使生命之泉源远流长的常青树。
