Youth Quotes
-
The lessons of their early youth regulated the conduct of their riper years.
William Godwin
-
The world is always full of brilliant youth which fades into grey and embittered middle age: the first flowering takes everything. The great men are those who have developed slowly, or who have been able to survive the glamour of their early florescence and to go on learning from life.
Willa Cather
-
But the watchful care of the parent is endless. The youth is never free from the danger of grating interference.
William Godwin
-
Of course, this has its good side as well as its bad one. As we become permanent drunkards by so may separate drinks, so we become saints in the moral, and authorities and experts in the practical and scientific spheres, by so many separate acts and hours of work. Let no youth have any anxiety about the upshot of his education, whatever the line of it may be. If he keep faithfully busy each hour of the working day, he may safely leave the final result to itself.
William James
-
Either to die the death or to abjure For ever the society of men. Therefore, fair Hermia, question your desires; Know of your youth, examine well your blood, Whether, if you yield not to your father's choice, You can endure the livery of a nun, For aye to be in shady cloister mew'd, To live a barren sister all your life, Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon. Thrice-blessed they that master so their blood, To undergo such maiden pilgrimage; But earthlier happy is the rose distill'd, Than that which withering on the virgin thorn Grows, lives and dies in single blessedness.
William Shakespeare
-
Never have I enjoyed youth so thoroughly as I have in my old age.
George Santayana
-
Youth is a blossom whose fruit is love; happy is he who plucks it after watching it slowly ripen.
Alexandre Dumas
-
A man is more than one being in his life. If the last persists, why not the first? If there be a hereafter for his age, why not for his youth?
Gertrude Atherton
-
The youth of today and the youth of tomorrow will be accorded an almost unequaled opportunity for great accomplishment and for human service.
Nicholas Murray Butler
-
Possibility-thinking is the long sought-after fountain of youth.
Robert H. Schuller
-
The things that I draw on, and the world that I feel part of, aren't particularly youth culture.
Robert Wyatt
-
He owned an expensive camera that required thought before you pressed the shutter, and I quickly became his favorite subject, round-faced, missing teeth, my thick bangs in need of a trim. They are still the pictures of myself I like best, for they convey that confidence of youth I no longer possess, especially in front of a camera.
Jhumpa Lahiri
