YOUTH

Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Youth is a period of missed opportunities.
CYRIL CONNOLLY

It is one of the capital tragedies of youth—and youth is the time of tragedy—that the young are thrown mainly with adults they do not quite respect.
H. L. MENCKEN

QUENTIN CRISP

What is youth except a man or a woman before it is ready or fit to be seen?
EVELYN WAUGH

LOGAN PEARSALL SMITH

I am not young enough to know everything.
JAMES M. BARRIE
