~ In youth we learn; in age we understand. ~
~ Youth is wasted on the young. ~
~ Youth has no age. ~
~ To get back to my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable ~
~ It is a pity that, as one gradually gains experience, one loses one's youth. ~
~ There is a fountain of youth: It is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring in your life and the lives of people you love ~
~ To get back one's youth one has merely to repeat one's follies ~
~ It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it. ~
~ I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg. ~
~ As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind. ~
~ Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged. ~
~ Youth comes but once in a lifetime ~
