It is only by introducing the young to great
literature, drama and music,
and to the excitement of great science that we open to them the
possibilities
that lie within the human spirit--enable them to see
visions
and dream dreams. -Eric Anderson

|
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. -Quentin Crisp

| Youth
is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be
poor. -Euripides |
| |
|
As
I approve of a youth that has something of the old person in him or
her,
so I am no less pleased with an old person that has something of the
youth.
They that follow this rule may be old in body, but can never be so
in mind.
-Marcus Cicero
|
| |
| Young people
are apt to think themselves wise enough,
as drunken people are apt to think themselves sober enough.
-Lord
Chesterfield |
| |
| 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. -Samuel
Johnson |

|
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. -Francis
Bacon |
| |
| Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little
later in life. -Herbert Henry Asquith |

Youth
Samuel Ullman
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, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;
it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage
over
timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease.
This often exists in a man of sixty more than a body of twenty.
Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.
We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up
enthusiasm
wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the
heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human
being's
heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of
what's next, and the joy of the game of living. In the center
of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long
as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and
power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is
covered with
snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown
old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the
waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty. |

Don't laugh at youth for their affectations;
they are only
trying on one face after another to find their own.
-Logan P. Smith
|
| |
| Youth is a wonderful thing.
What
a crime to waste it on children.
-George Bernard Shaw
|
| |
| Youth, though it may lack knowledge, is certainly
not devoid of intelligence; it sees through
shams with sharp and
terrible eyes. -H. L. Mencken
|
| |
| The best way to keep young is to keep going in
whatever it is that keeps you going. With me that's work, and a lot
of it. And when a job is finished, relax and have fun.
-Ingrid
Bergman
|
| |
| People are always talking about the joys
of
youth—but, oh, how youth can suffer!
-May Sarton |
| |
| The arrogance of age must submit
to be taught by youth. -Edmund Burke
|
| |
| You stay young as long as you can learn,
acquire new
habits, and suffer
contradictions. -Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach |
| |
| I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird
that has broken
out of the egg. -James M. Barrie
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Youth never disappears,
for it is still in harmony
with the Divine. -Alexandre Dumas |
| |
|
I've never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy.
It's probably because they have forgotten their
own. -Margaret Atwood
|
|
|
|
The young do not know enough to be prudent,
and
therefore they attempt the impossible--and achieve it, generation
after generation. -Pearl S. Buck
|
|
|
|
Through our great good
fortune,
in our youth our
hearts were touched with fire.
It was given to us
to learn
at the outset that life is
a profound and passionate thing.
-Oliver Wendell Holmes |

Youth is, after all, just a
moment, but it is the moment, the spark that you always carry in
your heart. -Raisa Gorbachev |
|
|
|
Youth is not a time
of life, it is a state of mind. You are as old as your
doubt, your fear, your despair. The way to keep young is to
keep your faith young. Keep your self-confidence young.
Keep your hope young. -Luella F. Phean |
|
|
|
I was forced to live
far beyond my years when just a child, now I have reversed the
order and I intend to remain young
indefinitely. -Mary Pickford |
|
|
|
Youth
is like spring, an over praised season more remarkable for biting
winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower season,
and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in
fruits. -Samuel Butler |
|
|
|
It takes a long time
to become young. -Pablo Picasso |
