The right way to begin is to pay attention to the young, and make them just as good as possible.

Youth is the time to go flashing from one end of the world to the other, both in mind and body.

The world lay before him for his picking-full of opulent cities, golden vintages, glorious triumphs, lovely women, full of a thousand unmet and magnificent possibilities. Nothing was dull or tarnished. The strange enchanted coasts were unvisited. He was young and he could never die.

A young man is so strong, so mad, so certain, and so lost. He has everything and he is able to use nothing.

For youthful faults ripe virtues shall atone.

Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close Upon the growing boy.

How ruthless and vile and hard and right the young are.

The denunciation of the young is a necessary part of the hygiene of older people, and greatly assists the circulation of the blood.

It is better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all.

Old and young, we are all on our last cruise.
