\nY<\/font><\/span><\/b>outh does not depend on
\nthe small number of years one has lived, but on the capacity to grow and
\nprogress. To grow is to increase one’s potentialities, one’s capacities; to
\nprogress is to make constantly more perfect the capacities that one already
\npossesses. Old age does not come from a great number of years but from the
\nincapacity or the refusal to continue to grow and progress. I have known old
\npeople of twenty and young people of seventy. As soon as one wants to settle
\ndown in life and reap the benefits of one’s past efforts, as soon as one thinks
\nthat one has done what one had to do and accomplished what one had to
\naccomplish, in short, as soon as one ceases to progress, to advance along the
\nroad of perfection, one is sure to fall back and become old. <\/span><\/p>\n

One can also teach the body that there is almost no limit to its
\ngrowth in capacities or its progress, provided that one discovers the true
\nmethod and the right conditioning. This is one of the many experiments which we
\nwant to attempt in order to break these collective suggestions and show the
\nworld that human potentialities exceed all imagination.  <\/span><\/p>\n
