It's Theodore Roosevelt's prose. And it not about age, it's about spirit. Read post 123 for more of that kind of "doer of deeds" spirit in another 16 yr old.

I appreciate the spirit of the prose. I just don’t apply it to the extreme for minors.
One might quote it while watching a ten year old go solo deep sea diving. That wouldn’t inspire me, either.
