Youth

There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age I missed it coming and going.
- Priestley, J. B.
Youth Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Youth

1.
The American ideal is youth --handsome, empty youth.
Miller, Henry

2.
It is not possible for civilization to flow backwards while there is youth in the world. Youth may be headstrong, but it will advance it allotted length.
Keller, Helen

3.
After all, life hasn't much to offer except youth and I suppose for older people the love of youth in others.

4.
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

5.
The young, whether they know it or not, live on borrowed property.
Livingston, Richard W.

6.
Boyhood, like measles, is one of those complaints which a man should catch young and have done with, for when it comes in middle life it is apt to be serious.
P. G. Wodehouse

7.
Youth has no age.
Picasso, Pablo

8.
A boy's story is the best that is ever told.
Dickens, Charles

9.
Youth is such a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
Shaw, George Bernard

10.
What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew.
Browning, Robert

11.
Don't let young people tell you their aspirations; when they drop them they will drop you.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

12.
Youth is a quality, not a matter of circumstances.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

13.
The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible -- and achieve it, generation after generation.
Buck, Pearl S.

14.
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched for they are full of the truthless ideal which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded.
W. Somerset Maugham

15.
Like a kite cut from the string, lightly the soul of my youth has taken flight
Takuboku, Ishikawa

16.
The child thinks of growing old as an almost obscene calamity, which for some mysterious reason will never happen to itself. All who have passed the age of thirty are joyless grotesques, endlessly fussing about things of no importance and staying alive without, so far as the child can see, having anything to live for. Only child life is real life.
Orwell, George

17.
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

18.
A youth with his first cigar makes himself sick; a youth with his first girl makes everybody sick.
Little, Mary

19.
The passions of the young are vices in the old.
Joubert, Joseph

20.
We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.
Disraeli, Benjamin

21.
Youth is the time to go flashing from one end of the world to the other to try the manners of different nations; to hear the chimes at midnight; to see the sunrise in town and country; to be converted at a revival; to circumnavigate the metaphysics, write halting verses, run a mile to see a fire, and wait all day long in the theatre to applaud Hernani.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

22.
Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth.
J. K. Rowling

23.
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
Friedrich Nietzsche

24.
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

25.
What a mistake to suppose that the passions are strongest in youth! The passions are not stronger, but the control over them is weaker! They are more easily excited, they are more violent and apparent; but they have less energy, less durability, less intense and concentrated power than in the maturer life.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton

26.
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

27.
On the neck of a young man sparkles no gem so gracious as enterprise.
Hafiz

28.
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

29.
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

30.
There's nothing wrong with teenagers that reasoning with them won't aggravate.
Bumper Sticker

31.
As youth lives in the future, so the adult lives in the past: No one rightly knows how to live in the present.
Grillparzer, Franz

32.
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who has lost it.
Maugham, W. Somerset

33.
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

34.
A sensual and intemperate youth translates into an old worn-out body.
Cicero, Marcus T.

35.
Youth, with swift feet, walks onward in the way; the land of joy lies all before his eyes.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

36.
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

37.
There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age I missed it coming and going.
Priestley, J. B.

38.
Youth is to all the glad season of life; but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.
Carlyle, Thomas

39.
The denunciation of the young is a necessary part of the hygiene of older people, and greatly assists the circulation of their blood.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

40.
What is youth except a man or a woman before it is ready or fit to be seen.
Waugh, Evelyn

41.
The good thing about being young is that you are not experienced enough to know you cannot possibly do the things you are doing.

42.
Youth today must be strong, unafraid, and a better taxpayer than its father.
Wade, H. V.

43.
Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
Kafka, Franz

44.
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

45.
Except for an occasional heart attack I feel as young as I ever did.
Benchley, Robert

46.
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

47.
Don't laugh at youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

48.
Youth is that period when a young boy knows everything but how to make a living.
Williams, Carey

49.
Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor.
Euripides

50.
Youth covets; let not this covetousness seduce you.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
