DD 2/2/04 G K CHESTERTON QUOTE

(Please forgive the male-centric language of this lovely quotation... Mayer)
Hope is the last gift given to man, and the only gift not given to youth. Youth is pre-eminently the period in which a man can be lyric, fanatical, poetic; but youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged. -- G.K. Chesterton
