~ To some baffled parents youth is stranger than fiction ~
~ Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to. ~
~ This is a youth-oriented society, and the joke is on them because youth is a disease from which we all recover ~
~ The follies of youth become the vices of manhood and the disgrace of old age ~
~ Youth is like a long weekend on Friday night. Middle age is like a long weekend on Monday afternoon. ~
~ Poor in my youth, and in life's later scenes - Rich to no end, I curse my natal hour, Who naught enjoyed while young, denied the means; And naught when old enjoyed, denied the power ~
~ Youth, which is forgiven everything, forgives itself nothing: age, which forgives itself everything, is forgiven nothing ~
~ Youth will be served, every dog has his day, and mine has been a fine one ~
~ I write of youth, of love, and have access by these to sing of cleanly wantonness ~
~ Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor. ~
