Quote by Henry David Thoreau

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm

Summary

This quote is suggesting that the true measure of one's age is not the number of years one has lived, but rather the loss of enthusiasm for life. It implies that people who have let go of their excitement, passion, and curiosity have essentially become old, regardless of their biological age. It serves as a reminder to nurture our enthusiasm and continue to find joy and inspiration in life, no matter how many years we have lived.
