Youth Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Youth

1.
The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young.
Willa Cather

2.
Youth does not require reasons for living, it only needs pretexts.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

3.
Like a kite cut from the string, lightly the soul of my youth has taken flight
Takuboku, Ishikawa

4.
Youth is about the only thing worth having, and that is about the only thing youth has.
Howe, Edgar Watson

5.
On the neck of a young man sparkles no gem so gracious as enterprise.
Hafiz

6.
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

7.
What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew.
Browning, Robert

8.
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

9.
The young feel tired at the end of an action, the old at the beginning.
Eliot, T. S.

10.
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

11.
Time misspent in youth is sometimes all the freedom one ever has.
Brookner, Anita

12.
In youth we learn; in age we understand.
Marie Ebner von Eschenbach

13.
I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more --the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort --to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires --and expires, too soon, too soon --before life itself.
Conrad, Joseph

14.
If youth but had the knowledge and old age the strength.
Proverb, French

15.
A boy's story is the best that is ever told.
Dickens, Charles

16.
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

17.
Youth is something very new: twenty years ago no one mentioned it.
Coco Chanel

18.
Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor.
Euripides

19.
Youth should be a savings bank.
Swetchine, Anne Sophie

20.
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

21.
You are only young once, and if you work it right, once is enough.
Lewis, Joe E.

22.
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

23.
Don't let young people tell you their aspirations; when they drop them they will drop you.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

24.
A sensual and intemperate youth translates into an old worn-out body.
Cicero, Marcus T.

25.
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

26.
Young men wish; love, money and health. One day, they'll say; health, money and love.
Geraldy, Paul

27.
Youth is a quality, not a matter of circumstances.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

28.
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

29.
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

30.
The secret of eternal youth is arrested development.
Alice Roosevelt Longworth

31.
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

32.
A youth with his first cigar makes himself sick; a youth with his first girl makes everybody sick.
Little, Mary

33.
The passions of the young are vices in the old.
Joubert, Joseph

34.
Youth, with swift feet, walks onward in the way; the land of joy lies all before his eyes.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

35.
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

36.
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

37.
The young, whether they know it or not, live on borrowed property.
Livingston, Richard W.

38.
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

39.
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.

40.
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

41.
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

42.
We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

43.
We have some salt of our youth in us.
William Shakespeare

44.
No wise man ever wished to be younger.
Jonathan Swift

45.
Youth is ever apt to judge in haste, and lose the medium in the wild extreme.
Hill, Aaron

46.
Youth lives on hope, old age on memories.
Proverb, French

47.
If youth be a defect, it is one that we outgrow only too soon.
Lowell, James Russell

48.
Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock.
Lindsey, Ben

49.
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

50.
Youth covets; let not this covetousness seduce you.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
