The Youth
OF
TODAY
I AM NOT YOUNG ENOUGH TO KNOW EVERYTHING.
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
YOUNG BLOOD MUST HAVE ITS COURSE, LAD, AND EVERY DOG HIS DAY.
What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew.
THE ARROGANCE OF AGE MUST SUBMIT TO BE TAUGHT BY YOUTH.
There is something so amiable in the prejudices of a young mind, that one is sorry to see them give way to the reception of more general opinions.
THE EXCESSES OF OUR YOUTH ARE CHEQUES WRITTEN AGAINST OUR AGE AND THEY ARE PAYABLE WITH INTEREST 30 YEARS LATER.
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it.
YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE A MARVELLOUS FACULTY OF EITHER DYING OR ADAPTING THEMSELVES TO CIRCUMSTANCES.
I love children, especially when they cry, because then somebody takes them away.
WHAT IS YOUTH EXCEPT A MAN OR A WOMAN BEFORE IT IS READY OR FIT TO BE SEEN?
Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of.
Fame is the thirst of youth.
THE TROUBLE WITH CHILDREN IS THAT THEY ARE NOT RETURNABLE.
To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.
YOUTH SMILES WITHOUT ANY REASON. IT IS ONE OF ITS CHIEFEST CHARMS.
