“Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul;”
— Douglas MacArthur

Simplified Meaning:
As people grow older, their bodies naturally develop wrinkles and other signs of aging. This is a normal part of life. But, when someone gives up on their dreams or stops trying to achieve their goals, it affects their spirit in a deeper, more harmful way. Think of an elderly person who continues to paint or garden despite their age; their body may show signs of aging, but their heart and enthusiasm remain young and vibrant. On the other hand, a person who stops pursuing what they love may feel a kind of emptiness or sadness inside, even if they look young and healthy on the outside. So, it's important to keep striving and not give up, as this keeps our inner self alive and well.
