Older people sit down and ask, 'What is it?' but he boy asks, 'What can I do with it?'.

It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched for they are full of the truthless ideal which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded.

Whoso neglects learning in his youth, Loses the past and is dead for the future.

Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

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

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.

The beauty of facing life unprepared is tremendous. Then life has a newness, a youth; then life has a flow and freshness. Then life has so many surprises. And when life has so many surprises boredom never settles in you.

Youth has no age

What the chief likes is not always what the youths like

Youth is wasted on the young.
