Youth

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
Youth Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Youth

1.
Don't laugh at youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

2.
Youth is something very new: twenty years ago no one mentioned it.
Coco Chanel

3.
Youth troubles over eternity, age grasps at a day and is satisfied to have even the day.
Gilmore, Dame Mary

4.
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

5.
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

6.
Youth is that period when a young boy knows everything but how to make a living.
Williams, Carey

7.
After all, life hasn't much to offer except youth and I suppose for older people the love of youth in others.

8.
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

9.
What is youth except a man or a woman before it is ready or fit to be seen.
Waugh, Evelyn

10.
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

11.
Youth, with swift feet, walks onward in the way; the land of joy lies all before his eyes.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

12.
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

13.
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.

14.
If youth but knew; if age but could.
Estienne, Henri

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Youth is not a question of years: one is young or old from birth.
Barney, Natalie Clifford

20.
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

21.
We have some salt of our youth in us.
William Shakespeare

22.
We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

23.
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

24.
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

25.
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

26.
If youth be a defect, it is one that we outgrow only too soon.
Lowell, James Russell

27.
Youth itself is a talent -- a perishable talent.
Hoffer, Eric

28.
The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young.
Willa Cather

29.
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

30.
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

31.
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

32.
Youth doesn't reason, it acts. The old man reasons and would like to make the others act in his place.
Picabia, Francis

33.
Youth, which is forgiven everything, forgives itself nothing: age, which forgives itself everything, is forgiven nothing.
George Bernard Shaw

34.
The American ideal is youth --handsome, empty youth.
Miller, Henry

35.
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

36.
Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock.
Lindsey, Ben

37.
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who has lost it.
Maugham, W. Somerset

38.
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

39.
Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.
Herbert Henry Asquith

40.
Young men wish; love, money and health. One day, they'll say; health, money and love.
Geraldy, Paul

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.
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

43.
Except for an occasional heart attack I feel as young as I ever did.
Benchley, Robert

44.
If youth only knew: if age only could.
Henri Estienne

45.
The passions of the young are vices in the old.
Joubert, Joseph

46.
On the neck of a young man sparkles no gem so gracious as enterprise.
Hafiz

47.
Idle youth, enslaved to everything; by being too sensitive I have wasted my life.
Rimbaud, Arthur

48.
In youth we learn; in age we understand.
Marie Ebner von Eschenbach

49.
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

50.
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
