- Lowell, James Russell
Youth Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Youth

1.
Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
J. K. Rowling

2.
To be young is all there is in the world. They talk so beautifully about work and having a family and a home (and I do, too, sometimes) --but it's all worry and head-aches and respectable poverty and forced gushing. Telling people how nice it is, when, in reality, you would give all of your last thirty years for one of your first thirty. Old people are tremendous frauds.
Stevens, Wallace

3.
A boy's story is the best that is ever told.
Dickens, Charles

4.
We have some salt of our youth in us.
William Shakespeare

5.
In grade school, I was a complete geek. You know, there's always the kid who's too short, the kid who wears glasses, the kid who's not athletic. Well, I was all three.
Moore, Julianne

6.
Well, youth is the period of assumed personalities and disguises. It is the time of the sincerely insincere.
Pritchett, V. S.

7.
Youth covets; let not this covetousness seduce you.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

8.
Youth gets together with their materials to build a bridge to the moon or maybe a palace on earth; then in middle age they decide to build a woodshed with them instead.
Thoreau, Henry David

9.
Young people are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and more fit for new projects than for settled business.
Bacon, Francis

10.
Youth is such a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
Shaw, George Bernard

11.
The hatred of the youth culture for adult society is not a disinterested judgment but a terror-ridden refusal to be hooked into the, if you will, ecological chain of breathing, growing, and dying. It is the demand, in other words, to remain children.
Decter, Midge

12.
Yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. Even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new and make a difference.
Eric Schmidt

13.
Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.
Herbert Henry Asquith

14.
Youth is a period of missed opportunities.
Connolly, Cyril

15.
Youth has become a class.
Vadim, Roger

16.
They [Young People] have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things -- and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning -- all their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything -- they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else.
Aristotle

17.
A youth with his first cigar makes himself sick; a youth with his first girl makes everybody sick.
Little, Mary

18.
I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg.
James M. Barrie

19.
The young know how truly difficult and dreadful youth can be. Their youth is wasted on everyone else, that's the horror. The young have no authority, no respect.
Anne Rice

20.
Ask the young. They know everything.
Joubert, Joseph

21.
On the neck of a young man sparkles no gem so gracious as enterprise.
Hafiz

22.
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who has lost it.
Maugham, W. Somerset

23.
When the newspapers have got nothing else to talk about, they cut loose on the young. The young are always news. If they are up to something, that's news. If they aren't, that's news too.
Rexroth, Kenneth

24.
If youth but had the knowledge and old age the strength.
Proverb, French

25.
Youth enters the world with very happy prejudices in her own favor. She imagines herself not only certain of accomplishing every adventure, but of obtaining those rewards which the accomplishment may deserve. She is not easily persuaded to believe that the force of merit can be resisted by obstinacy and avarice, or its luster darkened by envy and malignity.
Johnson, Samuel

26.
It is the failing of youth not to be able to restrain its own violence.
Seneca

27.
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. [Lamentations 3:27]
Bible

28.
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
Cicero, Marcus T.

29.
The young, whether they know it or not, live on borrowed property.
Livingston, Richard W.

30.
No man knows he is young while he is young.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

31.
If youth be a defect, it is one that we outgrow only too soon.
Lowell, James Russell

32.
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind. You are as old as your doubt, your fear, your despair. The way to keep young is to keep your faith young. Keep your self-confidence young. Keep your hope young.
Phean, Luella F.

33.
I, for one, hope that youth will again revolt and again demoralize the dead weight of conformity that now lies upon us.
Jones, Howard M.

34.
Those whom the gods love grow young.
Wilde, Oscar

35.
Youth today must be strong, unafraid, and a better taxpayer than its father.
Wade, H. V.

36.
I'm really glad that your young people missed the Depression I'm really glad that your young people missed the Depression and missed the big war. But I do regret that they missed the leaders that I knew, leaders who told us when things were tough and that we'd have to sacrifice, and that these difficulties might last awhile. They brought us together and they gave us a sense of national purpose.
Richards, Ann

37.
Youth is unduly busy with pampering the outer person.
Horace

38.
The young feel tired at the end of an action, the old at the beginning.
Eliot, T. S.

39.
Lets tell young people the best books are yet to written; the best painting, the best government the best of everything is yet to be done by them.
Erskine, John

40.
Youth is something very new: twenty years ago no one mentioned it.
Coco Chanel

41.
Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

42.
Youth is ever apt to judge in haste, and lose the medium in the wild extreme.
Hill, Aaron

43.
Youth, large, lusty, loving -- Youth, full of grace, force, fascination. Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace, force, fascination?
Whitman, Walt

44.
I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more --the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort --to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires --and expires, too soon, too soon --before life itself.
Conrad, Joseph

45.
Nothing can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own.
Sidney J. Harris

46.
The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young.
Willa Cather

47.
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, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Ullman, Samuel

48.
Do not commit the error common among the young, of assuming that if you cannot save the whole of mankind you have failed.
Hartog, Jan De

49.
Youth should be a savings bank.
Swetchine, Anne Sophie

50.
Youth is the trustee of prosperity.
Disraeli, Benjamin
