| Age considers; youth ventures. |
| Maturity is often more absurd than youth and very frequently is most unjust to youth. |
| Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age. |
| It is not possible for civilization to flow backwards while there is youth in the world. Youth may be headstrong, but it will advance it allotted length. |
| The duty of youth is to challenge corruption. |
| 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. |
| Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old. |
| The search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood. |
| I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity. |
| To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable. |
