More about "Youth"
Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
Franz Kafka
When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
Josh Billings
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Samuel Ullman
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind. You are as old as your doubt, your fear, your despair. The way to keep young is to keep your faith young. Keep your self-confidence young. Keep your hope young.
Luella F. Phean
Young people need models, not critics...
John Wooden
You are only young once, and if you work it right, once is enough.
Joe E. Lewis
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.
Helen Keller
Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor.
Euripides
Young men are apt to think themselves wise enough, as drunken men are apt to think themselves sober enough.
Lord Chesterfield
All lovely things will have an ending, All lovely things will fade and die; And youth, that's now so bravely spending, Will beg a penny by and by.
Conrad Aiken
No man knows he is young while he is young.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
"A beautiful lady is an accident of nature. A beautiful old lady is a work of art."
Louis Nizer
"In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us."
Josh Billings
"The soul is born old but grows young. That is the comedy of life. And the body is born young and grows old. That is life's tragedy."
Oscar Wilde
"The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age."
Lucille Ball
"All say, How hard it is that we have to die - a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live."
Mark Twain
"Young men think old men are fools; but old men know young men are fools.
George Chapman
"Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been."
Mark Twain
"No one can avoid aging, but aging productively is something else."

"Adolescence is a kind of emotional seasickness. Both are funny, but only in retrospect."
Arthur Koestler
"There is no cure for birth and death, save to enjoy the interval."
George Santayana

Benjamin Franklin
"To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent - that is to triumph over old age."
Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Gloria Swanson
"A woman's always younger than a man of equal years."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora Leigh
"I promise to keep on living as though I expected to live forever. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul."
Douglas MacArthur
"First you forget names, then you forget faces, then you forget to pull your zipper up, and then you forget to pull your zipper down."
