Youth

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
Youth Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Youth

1.
If youth but had the knowledge and old age the strength.
Proverb, French

2.
Well, youth is the period of assumed personalities and disguises. It is the time of the sincerely insincere.
Pritchett, V. S.

3.
On the neck of a young man sparkles no gem so gracious as enterprise.
Hafiz

4.
The pursuit of happiness, which American citizens are obliged to undertake, tends to involve them in trying to perpetuate the moods, tastes and aptitudes of youth.
Muggeridge, Malcolm

5.
Time misspent in youth is sometimes all the freedom one ever has.
Brookner, Anita

6.
Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor.
Euripides

7.
Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.
Herbert Henry Asquith

8.
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.

9.
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

10.
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

11.
Youth has become a class.
Vadim, Roger

12.
Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

13.
If youth only knew: if age only could.
Henri Estienne

14.
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

15.
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. [Ecclesiastes 11:9]
Bible

16.
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

17.
A sensual and intemperate youth translates into an old worn-out body.
Cicero, Marcus T.

18.
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

19.
Remember that as a teenager you are at the last stage in your life when you will be happy to hear that the phone is for you.
Lebowitz, Fran

20.
Youth is not a question of years: one is young or old from birth.
Barney, Natalie Clifford

21.
A boy's story is the best that is ever told.
Dickens, Charles

22.
Youth, with swift feet, walks onward in the way; the land of joy lies all before his eyes.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

23.
Youth itself is a talent -- a perishable talent.
Hoffer, Eric

24.
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

25.
Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
Kafka, Franz

26.
Youth, which is forgiven everything, forgives itself nothing: age, which forgives itself everything, is forgiven nothing.
George Bernard Shaw

27.
The passions of the young are vices in the old.
Joubert, Joseph

28.
Those whom the gods love grow young.
Wilde, Oscar

29.
Youth doesn't reason, it acts. The old man reasons and would like to make the others act in his place.
Picabia, Francis

30.
In the first day of my youth I tried to find it in the creatures, as I saw others do: but the more I sought, the less I found it, and the nearer I went to it, the further off it was. For of every image that appeared to me, before I had fully tested it, or abandoned myself to peace in it, and inner voice said to me: 'This is not what thou seekest.'
Suso, Heinrich

31.
There is a period near the beginning of every man's life when he has little to cling to except his unmanageable dream, little to support him except good health, and nowhere to go but all over the place.
White, Elwyn Brooks

32.
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

33.
Youth is something very new: twenty years ago no one mentioned it.
Coco Chanel

34.
Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock.
Lindsey, Ben

35.
So different are the colors of life, as we look forward to the future, or backward to the past; and so different the opinions and sentiments which this contrariety of appearance naturally produces, that the conversation of the old and young ends generally with contempt or pity on either side.
Johnson, Samuel

36.
All lovely things will have an ending, All lovely things will fade and die; And youth, that's now so bravely spending, Will beg a penny by and by.
Aiken, Conrad

37.
I've never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It's probably because they have forgotten their own.
Atwood, Margaret

38.
Youth is the trustee of prosperity.
Disraeli, Benjamin

39.
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who has lost it.
Maugham, W. Somerset

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

41.
Don't let young people tell you their aspirations; when they drop them they will drop you.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

42.
Ask the young. They know everything.
Joubert, Joseph

43.
If youth but knew; if age but could.
Estienne, Henri

44.
The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young.
Willa Cather

45.
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

46.
You are only young once, and if you work it right, once is enough.
Lewis, Joe E.

47.
It is the failing of youth not to be able to restrain its own violence.
Seneca

48.
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

49.
Idle youth, enslaved to everything; by being too sensitive I have wasted my life.
Rimbaud, Arthur

50.
When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
Billings, Josh
