Motivational Quotes

Youth

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

Best Quotes about Youth

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

Aiken, Conrad

Youth is such a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.

Shaw, George Bernard

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

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
