Motivational Quotes
Youth
Don't let young people tell you their aspirations; when they drop them they will drop you.

Best Quotes about Youth
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
Time misspent in youth is sometimes all the freedom one ever has.
Brookner, Anita
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
Except for an occasional heart attack I feel as young as I ever did.
Benchley, Robert
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
Youth is the trustee of prosperity.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor.
Euripides
Young men wish; love, money and health. One day, they'll say; health, money and love.
Geraldy, Paul
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
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
Youth is about the only thing worth having, and that is about the only thing youth has.
Howe, Edgar Watson
Youth is such a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
Shaw, George Bernard
You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.
Dave Barry
Youth is not a question of years: one is young or old from birth.
Barney, Natalie Clifford
Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
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
The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young.
Willa Cather
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
If youth but knew; if age but could.
Estienne, Henri
On the neck of a young man sparkles no gem so gracious as enterprise.
Hafiz
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
Youth, abundant wealth, high birth, and inexperience, are, each of them a source of ruin. What then must be the fate of those in whom all four are combined.
Hitopadesa
We have some salt of our youth in us.
William Shakespeare
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 doesn't reason, it acts. The old man reasons and would like to make the others act in his place.
Picabia, Francis
The hatred of the youth culture for adult society is not a disinterested judgment but a terror-ridden refusal to be hooked into the, if you will, ecological chain of breathing, growing, and dying. It is the demand, in other words, to remain children.
Decter, Midge
Every youth owes it to himself and to the world to make the most possible out of the stuff that is in him...
Marden, Orison Swett
In youth we learn; in age we understand.
Marie Ebner von Eschenbach
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
No wise man ever wished to be younger.
Jonathan Swift
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
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
The wine of youth does not always clear with advancing years; sometimes it grows turbid.
Jung, Carl
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
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Ullman, Samuel
If youth but had the knowledge and old age the strength.
Proverb, French
Youth is a period of missed opportunities.
Connolly, Cyril
You are only young once, and if you work it right, once is enough.
Lewis, Joe E.
If youth be a defect, it is one that we outgrow only too soon.
Lowell, James Russell
Youth, with swift feet, walks onward in the way; the land of joy lies all before his eyes.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
Don't laugh at youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
Youth itself is a talent -- a perishable talent.
Hoffer, Eric
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
Well, youth is the period of assumed personalities and disguises. It is the time of the sincerely insincere.
Pritchett, V. S.
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
The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible -- and achieve it, generation after generation.
Buck, Pearl S.
Youth lives on hope, old age on memories.
Proverb, French
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
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
