Best Quotes about Youth
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
The young are permanently in a state resembling intoxication.
Aristotle
Youth is about the only thing worth having, and that is about the only thing youth has.
Howe, Edgar Watson
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
Youth, with swift feet, walks onward in the way; the land of joy lies all before his eyes.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible -- and achieve it, generation after generation.
Buck, Pearl S.
Don't laugh at youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
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
There's nothing wrong with teenagers that reasoning with them won't aggravate.
Bumper Sticker
You are only young once, and if you work it right, once is enough.
Lewis, Joe E.
Don't let young people tell you their aspirations; when they drop them they will drop you.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
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
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
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
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
Youth is a period of missed opportunities.
Connolly, Cyril
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
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
Youth is a quality, not a matter of circumstances.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth.
J. K. Rowling
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
Use your youth so that you may have comfort to remember it when it has forsaken you, and not sigh and grieve at the account thereof.
Raleigh, Sir Walter
Don't laugh at a youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own.
Logan Pearsall Smith
No man knows he is young while he is young.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor.
Euripides
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
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
Youth has become a class.
Vadim, Roger
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
Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
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
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
If youth but knew; if age but could.
Estienne, Henri
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
Youth should be a savings bank.
Swetchine, Anne Sophie
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who has lost it.
Maugham, W. Somerset
If youth but had the knowledge and old age the strength.
Proverb, French
Youth is something very new: twenty years ago no one mentioned it.
Coco Chanel
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
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
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
Youth gets together with their materials to build a bridge to the moon or maybe a palace on earth; then in middle age they decide to build a woodshed with them instead.
Thoreau, Henry David
What is youth except a man or a woman before it is ready or fit to be seen.
Waugh, Evelyn
Youth is ever apt to judge in haste, and lose the medium in the wild extreme.
Hill, Aaron
Do not commit the error common among the young, of assuming that if you cannot save the whole of mankind you have failed.
Hartog, Jan De
Youth is unduly busy with pampering the outer person.
Horace
A boy's story is the best that is ever told.
Dickens, Charles
The passions of the young are vices in the old.
Joubert, Joseph
Youth is the trustee of prosperity.
Disraeli, Benjamin
