塞繆爾的《青春》原文和翻譯如下：
青春不是年華，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沈的意誌、恢宏的想像、熾熱的感情；青春是生命的深泉湧流。
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, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十後生有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，並非垂老；理想丟棄，方墮暮年。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of sixty more than a body of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹唐必致靈魂。憂煩、惶恐、喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
無論年屆花甲，抑或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡愉，奇跡之感召，孩童般天真久盛不衰。
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game of living.
人的心靈應如浩渺瀚海，只有不斷接納美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的百川，才能青春永駐、風華長存。
In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
