The lexicon of youth which is fated for a bright manhood, should never fail.

The sentence means, in the beginning of youth the fate that is kept for a bright manhood must not be a failure.

There was no such word as fail when I was a boy, but now I am a man.

If you study while you are young your knowledge will be preserved and you can not fail.

The word fail never appears in the natural teachings of youth and is kept for bright manhood.
