"As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind"

This quote by Cicero highlights the value of preserving a balance in between vibrant power and knowledge that comes with old age. Cicero believed that a young person needs to possess specific high qualities of an old individual, such as wisdom, experience, and technique. Similarly, an old person should also have attributes of the young people, including enthusiasm, curiosity, and a willingness to find out.

According to Cicero, a person who follows this guideline will certainly never age in mind, despite their aging body. He thought that maintaining a younger way of thinking, even in aging, was necessary for a satisfying life.

On the whole, this quote emphasizes the value of accepting both youth and also age, and locating a balance between the two in order to live a fulfilling as well as lively life.
