Youth Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Youth

1.
Youth is that period when a young boy knows everything but how to make a living.
Williams, Carey

2.
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

3.
A hundred things are done today in the divine name of Youth, that if they showed their true colors would be seen by rights to belong rather to old age.
Lewis, Wyndham

4.
Idle youth, enslaved to everything; by being too sensitive I have wasted my life.
Rimbaud, Arthur

5.
Youth covets; let not this covetousness seduce you.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

6.
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

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth.
J. K. Rowling

11.
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

12.
It is the failing of youth not to be able to restrain its own violence.
Seneca

13.
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

14.
Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.
Herbert Henry Asquith

15.
There's nothing wrong with teenagers that reasoning with them won't aggravate.
Bumper Sticker

16.
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

17.
I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg.
James M. Barrie

18.
Youth doesn't reason, it acts. The old man reasons and would like to make the others act in his place.
Picabia, Francis

19.
The young always have the same problem -- how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another.
Crisp, Quentin

20.
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

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

22.
After all, life hasn't much to offer except youth and I suppose for older people the love of youth in others.

23.
We are none of us infallible--not even the youngest of us.
W. H. Thompson

24.
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

25.
Like a kite cut from the string, lightly the soul of my youth has taken flight
Takuboku, Ishikawa

26.
Except for an occasional heart attack I feel as young as I ever did.
Benchley, Robert

27.
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

28.
On the neck of a young man sparkles no gem so gracious as enterprise.
Hafiz

29.
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

30.
Youth lives on hope, old age on memories.
Proverb, French

31.
A youth with his first cigar makes himself sick; a youth with his first girl makes everybody sick.
Little, Mary

32.
Don't laugh at youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

33.
Youth itself is a talent -- a perishable talent.
Hoffer, Eric

34.
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.

35.
Youth has become a class.
Vadim, Roger

36.
If youth but had the knowledge and old age the strength.
Proverb, French

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Even the youngest of us may be wrong sometimes.
Shaw, George Bernard

40.
The wine of youth does not always clear with advancing years; sometimes it grows turbid.
Jung, Carl

41.
Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock.
Lindsey, Ben

42.
Young men wish; love, money and health. One day, they'll say; health, money and love.
Geraldy, Paul

43.
Youth, with swift feet, walks onward in the way; the land of joy lies all before his eyes.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

44.
Youth is such a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
Shaw, George Bernard

45.
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

46.
Youth, which is forgiven everything, forgives itself nothing: age, which forgives itself everything, is forgiven nothing.
George Bernard Shaw

47.
The young, whether they know it or not, live on borrowed property.
Livingston, Richard W.

48.
What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew.
Browning, Robert

49.
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

50.
The good thing about being young is that you are not experienced enough to know you cannot possibly do the things you are doing.
