I had a happy, dramafree youth, growing up in an upper-middle-class neighborhood in Dallas, Texas. The only thing that was slightly unusual compared to most of my friends was that I was an only child… I don’t think that’s why my parents gave me a dummy, at least they’ve never copped to it.
7
My parents wanted me to be a Baptist minister. I was a youth minister in my church when I was still in college. And I was in a lot of theater in high school, and at Northwestern.

It is work, work that one delights in, that is the surest guarantor of happiness. But even here it is a work that has to be earned by labor in one’s earlier years. One should labor so hard in youth that everything one does subsequently is easy by comparison.
9
I was going to become a youth worker because I do voluntary work with the kids in the little village where I live. I make little films with them and stuff when I’m not working.

I’ve always believed in the adage that the secret of eternal youth is arrested development.

I could have probably raised them in L.A. and they would have been great and had so many things at their fingertips and been exposed to so many things. But we travel a lot, so I don’t think that moving out of town is sheltering the girls at all. Maybe protecting them a little bit more, trying to prolong their youth.

24
Certainly I was a very religious child, a deeply weird and very emotional child, an only child with lots of imaginary friends and a very active imagination.

It’s my job, first and foremost, to take care of the football. Guys work their tails off. That’s Football 101. From the time you play youth ball to high school, college, pro, every level, that’s the starting point for every quarterback. You have to take care of the ball.
28
Germany, Austria, Switzerland – they have vocational training that’s aligned to the needs of business and don’t have youth unemployment problems.
29
A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.
30
I started a youth center in Houston. The kids would come in and want to learn to box; they wanted to tear up the world, beat up the world. And I’d try to show them they didn’t need anger. They didn’t need all that killing instinct they’d read about. You can be a human being and pursue boxing as a sport.
31
Many of us came away from our youth thinking that the story of the Revolution was that the Americans were patriots fighting the oppressive British. It was kind of good versus evil, liberty versus tyranny. When you get into it, you find that it was much more complicated.

35

40
Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.
41
A lot of what I experienced growing up in the U.S.S.R. and coming to the U.S. as an immigrant actually reflects itself in Whatsapp. Experiences from our youth shape what we do later in life.

45
I was a nursery school teacher, and I worked with youth groups. I loved that job. It was exhausting, but you got a lot back – all their purity and insight and innocence is so on the surface, and they’re so unrepressed; they’d really scream at you and then give you a massive kiss.
46
Those who improve with age embrace the power of personal growth and personal achievement and begin to replace youth with wisdom, innocence with understanding, and lack of purpose with self-actualization.

Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.

I would like to recapture that freshness of vision which is characteristic of extreme youth when all the world is new to it.
50
I’ve been into Sonic Youth since junior high school. I think I kind of have ADD, so it’s good music for ADD because it just throws you in different directions all the time. I really like Kim Gordon’s voice and Thurston Moore’s voice, and I like the guitars going off on tangents.
51
There’s nothing more arrogant or conceited than youth, and there’s nothing other than machinery that can replace youth.
52
What I do regret is working too hard sometimes instead of really enjoying my youth. I’m trying to make an effort to stop and smell the roses now.

54

62
I think my films kind of walk this line that I’m proud of, that they feel sort of like films of my youth, which were far more commercial.

66
The single most powerful element of youth is our inability to know what’s impossible.

70
New Yorkers are obsessed with youth and eternal youth and then their careers and making money.

Satan, really, is the romantic youth of Jesus re-appearing for a moment.
82
People equate success with youth. And if you haven’t had a certain amount of success by a certain time in your life, it’s never going to happen. There’s a fear about that. So people start lying about their age really young. I’ve never done that because I think it’s so insignificant.
83
I think that certainly, whenever you have a new band, the first record always has a certain energy to it before you know what you’re doing. I think some of the early Sonic Youth stuff was maybe like that.

86
Take a commonplace, clean it and polish it, light it so that it produces the same effect of youth and freshness and originality and spontaneity as it did originally, and you have done a poet’s job. The rest is literature.

90
History shows that the majority of people that have done anything great have passed their youth in seclusion.

All of youth culture is packaged and sold back to us at this furious rate these days. I think it’s part and parcel to this corporate encroachment on our lives in general.
92
The subculture of felons is in great vogue among adolescents. Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, and so forth allow us Republicans to say to America’s young people, ‘We be thugs.’ The GOP may capture the youth vote at last.

After I signed pro forms in 1991, I went on to be chosen for a Paulista state championship select XI, then for Brazil at youth level, then for the full squad, and then finally I became a World Cup winner.
94
I love ‘Yo Gabba Gabba!’ because it’s a real kids’ show. There hasn’t been a real kids’ show since ‘Dora the Explorer.’ It mixes hip-hop with being a kid. Hip-hop came from youths anyway. It’s just a great, funky show.
95
Almost everything that is great has been done by youth.
96
I cannot cure myself of that most woeful of youth’s follies – thinking that those who care about us will care for the things that mean much to us.

102
What you want to worship above youth, I think, is beauty, and beauty is so beyond just appearances after a while. Because you can be with someone who’s good-looking; if they open their mouths and they’re an idiot, then they cease to be beautiful very quickly.
103
Some people become passionate readers and fans of science fiction during childhood or adolescence. I picked up on SF somewhat later than that; my escape reading of choice during my youth was historical novels, and one of my favorite writers was Mary Renault.
104
Have you seen some of the women – and the men – in Los Angeles? They pay surgeons to make them look completely different in the hope of finding their youth. But youth comes from within. If you have a young attitude, then that can show in your face, the way you walk and move.
105
If you’re in college, if you’re in high school, if you’re in elementary school, if you’re in a youth league, if you’re in the NFL, football’s football.
106

107
Apathy in youth culture is pretty stark.
108

113
So many times, people want you to stay the way you were, be as you were before because they want to encapsulate you in a time so they can remember their youth. But you’re here to continually push forward and move forward. That’s where I’m at – I just want to always surprise people.

I work with youth offenders in LA, I’ve heard them speak and see how music manipulates them.

A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
125
One in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a wage.
126
Youth makes you brave, I suppose. When you’re young, you make a fool of yourself all the time. Because of all the rejections and the criticism you get all the time, there has to be a drive there.
127
It is as well perhaps that this is not the first time I have been swept off my feet. In the days of my blessed youth there were such occasions; in what young person’s life do they not occur?

Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.
129
I go to school the youth to learn the future.

Life eternal is to live in unity, in families, with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

138
He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.

141
We have to abandon the idea that schooling is something restricted to youth. How can it be, in a world where half the things a man knows at 20 are no longer true at 40 – and half the things he knows at 40 hadn’t been discovered when he was 20?
142
The fountain of youth with the youthful young musician is one meaning, and the fountain of youth with the youthful energy of the leader is another meaning.
143
I don’t take for granted all the blessings that I have, and as soon as I heard about Computers for Youth, I really wanted to be involved. Anyone who knows me knows how much time I spend on computers. I’m a computer addict. Every young person deserves to have a computer in his or her home.
144
I was very fortunate that a teacher saw that I read a lot and got bored very easily and had a lot of energy, so she said, ‘You’ve got to go to this youth theater.’ I joined Manchester Youth Theatre when I was really young, and I just loved putting on and being involved in plays and telling stories.

What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew.
146
Study is the bane of childhood, the oil of youth, the indulgence of adulthood, and a restorative in old age.

150
Who I was was not acceptable to black L.A. youth: the way I spoke and my sense of humor. Everybody else had relaxers and pressed hair. I wore my hair in an Afro puff. Nappy. The way I dressed. It was all about name brands at the time in L.A. I had no idea. All those things, I failed miserably at.
151
Happy is he who has laid up in his youth, and held fast in all fortune, a genuine and passionate love of reading.

153
Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.
154
We must all work together to end youth homelessness in America.

156
I grew very skeptical of certain kind of Jewish separatism in my youth. I mean, I saw the Jewish community was always with each other; they didn’t trust anybody outside. You’d bring someone home, and the first question was, ‘Are they Jewish, are they not Jewish?’
157
Gentle reader, the Fountain of Youth is radioactive, and those who imbibe its poisonous heavy waters will suffer the hideous fate of decaying metal. Yet almost without exception, the wretched idiot inhabitants of our benighted planet would gulp down this radioactive excrement if it were offered.
158
Well, youth is the period of assumed personalities and disguises. It is the time of the sincerely insincere.
159
Youth is to all the glad season of life; but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.
160
What is going on in America is extreme. The youth cult, they worship youth so much it’s almost paranoid. And LA is the Mecca of it all; they’re taking it to the hilt.
161
Major League Baseball has always recognized the influence that our stars can have on the youth of America. As such, we are concerned that recent revelations and allegations of steroid use have been sending a terrible message to young people.

164
A hundred things are done today in the divine name of Youth, that if they showed their true colors would be seen by rights to belong rather to old age.

170
Youth comes but once in a lifetime.
171

172
Fashion has this youth mania. But 70-year-old ladies don’t have 18-year-old bodies, and 18-year-olds don’t have a 70-year-old’s dollars.
173
I come from a very humble background. My father had to work really hard to become an assistant director. For a large part of his youth, he worked in a mill and took up odd jobs to make ends meet. We lived in a small room and could only afford a meal a day.

178
In our youths, many of us suspected that being tied down to a partner and family might constrain us. But after 40, even that landscape starts to shift. Many singletons turn inward and start longing for the things so many of us longed to be free of in our 20s.
179
I enjoyed my upbringing, my siblings did, we’re polite, we’re respectful, but at the end of the day we’re young, we like to have fun.

180
Ah, great it is to believe the dream as we stand in youth by the starry stream; but a greater thing is to fight life through and say at the end, the dream is true!

194
Since our society equates happiness with youth, we often assume that sorrow, quiet desperation, and hopelessness go hand in hand with getting older. They don’t. Emotional pain or numbness are symptoms of living the wrong life, not a long life.
195
I wanted to leave home, and I didn’t know where I was going or what I was going to do or what would happen. That’s youth, though. Being fixated on things. I was fixated on being a writer.

Stories about the ongoing dramas in our lives as we age are not being told because women find it difficult to be honest about what’s going on – about, for example, our heightened sexuality as we age or about living in a society that only values youth.
197
When you are young, it’s deeply annoying to be told that certain things are a condition of your youth. There’s almost always some condescension in the proposition that your reality, your hopes, your frustrations, are just a condition of your age, that what feels unique to you is a very common thing after all.
198
In capital we trust. Capital is our savior, our holy grail, our fountain of youth, or at least health, for banks.

A youth, when at home, should be filial and, abroad, respectful to his elders. He should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow in love to all and cultivate the friendship of the good.

224

225
It is the failing of youth not to be able to restrain its own violence.

229
Keep true to the dreams of your youth.
230
This is going to sound strange, but I really didn’t think I would pass 30. I don’t know why or whatever, I just didn’t. That’s a very weird thing to say, I’m sorry. I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I was drinking so much as a youth.
231
At Walmart, we recognize the need to support the development of our nation’s youth.
232
It was in New York, and I’ve always wanted to film in New York. And the writer was a teenage friend of mine. We did youth theatre together when we were 16 and always had a dream of making a film together. And ten years later, we’ve done it. So it’s great.

245
Leftist ideas are a part of the very atmosphere which American youth breathes.
246
I used to spend a lot of time at football training, but that time was later spent in amateur acting classes and my local youth theatre, in plays at school and after-school clubs. That filled the void.

248
Youth does not require reasons for living, it only needs pretexts.
249
I think there’s a notion in our society, and it may be valid, that people aren’t as funny when they get older. It’s a stigma still attached to the rebelliousness of youth.

The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded on a fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older.
251
If I have to pick one story that most influenced ‘The Hunger Games,’ it would be the Greek myth of Theseus, which I read when I was about 8 years old.

252
For them who delay aging, who infuse decrepit bodies with youth and beauty – they must rejoice in the fullness of their deeds.
253
America is tough for rock music. Rock n’ roll used to be the main music for the youth, and it’s not so much anymore. It’s hip-hop and stuff.
254
I drink a bucket of white tea in the morning. I read about this tea of the Emperor of China, which is supposedly the tea of eternal youth. It’s called Silver Needle. It’s unbelievably expensive, but I get it on the Web.

Yes and our obsession with youth in our culture and how we, women lie about their age after 35 obsessively and no one wants to let anyone know they’re getting older, et cetera.

260
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man, youth never.
261

263
I understand that there’s a certain energy in youth, no question, in terms of pursuing jobs. But there is wisdom in age. It’s too bad that the two can’t come together because I do think that people are dropped from what they’re really good at too soon.
264
Independence is a heady draught, and if you drink it in your youth, it can have the same effect on the brain as young wine does. It does not matter that its taste is not always appealing. It is addictive and with each drink you want more.

267
Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. If we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old.
268
Genius goes around the world in its youth incessantly apologizing for having large feet. What wonder that later in life it should be inclined to raise those feet too swiftly to fools and bores.
269

272
The man is distinguished from the youth by the fact that he takes the world as it is, instead of everywhere fancying it amiss and wanting to improve it, i.e. model it after his ideal; in him the view that one must deal with the world according to his interest, not according to his ideals, becomes confirmed.

292

294
High and eternal things have little weight with the youth.
295
Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin’ Donuts.

298
Men and women whose early youth was shaped in the ordeal of the Great Depression showed the values formed in that crucible when tyranny threatened a world.
299

300
I’ve become a functioning cog in the machine called The Roots, but in my youth I was comin’ from a more braggadocious, egotistical perspective.
301

302
Youth is not a question of years: one is young or old from birth.
303
I’ve been giving back since I was a teen, handing out turkeys at Thanksgiving and handing out toys at toys drives for Christmas. It’s very important to give back as a youth. It’s as simple as helping an old lady across the street or giving up your seat on the bus for someone who is pregnant.
304
Desegregation of schools does not automatically transform them into better schools. It is only a step. The larger goal is to see that the education of our youth is not merely desegregated, but that it is excellent.

308
Hold fast to youth and beauty.
309
Too much youth, hunger, mission, and talent.

What I did in my youth is hundreds of times easier today. Technology breeds crime.
312
Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.
313

314
An excessive knowledge of Marxism is a sign of a misspent youth.
315

323
Whatever my situation is, I want to show that I’m not perfect, and perfect isn’t real. The youth need to know that, especially.
324
Listen, you know this: If there’s not a rebellious youth culture, there’s no culture at all. It’s absolutely essential. It is the future. This is what we’re supposed to do as a species, is advance ideas.
325
In my youth there were words you couldn’t say in front of a girl; now you can’t say ‘girl.’
326
Hordes of young girls never copied my hairdos or the way I talk or the way I dress. I have, therefore, never had to go through the stress of perpetuating an image that’s often the equivalent of one particular song that forever freezes a precise moment of one’s youth.
327
Death gives us sleep, eternal youth, and immortality.
328
You go through a process of refinement and getting rid of the excesses of your early youth in terms of your excitement about what theatre can do.

330
If ‘Befikre’ was representing the new-age youth of India and romance as what it was claiming, it would have been great irrespective of the box-office numbers. But unfortunately, it didn’t do that, and hence, I would not be interested.

336
Youth is wasted on the young.
337
Youth, however, can afford to enjoy even its melancholy; for the ultimate fact of which that melancholy is a prophecy is a long way off.
338

347
A man who dreads trials and difficulties cannot become a revolutionary. If he is to become a revolutionary with an indomitable fighting spirit, he must be tempered in the arduous struggle from his youth. As the saying goes, early training means more than late earning.
348
The sincere teachers of their youth should be met, not with an intention to dictate to them, but to give additional force to their well-meant endeavours, and raise them to public esteem.
349

357
I was raised on Nirvana and flannel shirts and Rage Against the Machine, and I sort of describe my youth as rebellious and always fighting the system.
358
If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?
359
My favorite Galaxie 500 album is the first one, ‘Today,’ recorded in three days at Noise New York and produced by Kramer. It contains my favorite Galaxie 500 songs: ‘Temperature’s Rising,’ ‘Tugboat,’ and our interpretation of Jonathan Richman’s ‘Don’t Let Our Youth Go to Waste.’
360
I think there’s a level of ignorance, when, in the callowness of youth, you imagine that you are inventing the world for the first time. You imagine that your parents don’t know what it feels like to fall in love.

369
Oxford is Oxford: not a mere receptacle for youth, like Cambridge. Perhaps it wants its inmates to love it rather than to love one another.
370
There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age, I missed it coming and going.
371

379
Diamonds are forever, my youth is not.
380

Economic and health statistics, as well as police-violence statistics, shed light on the pressures on American Indian communities and individuals: Indian youths have the highest suicide rate of any United States ethnic group.
386
The reveries of youth, in which so much energy is wasted, are the yearnings of a Spirit made for what it has not found but must forever seek as an Ideal.
387
Youth all over the world are very hungry to succeed.
388

390
My father is an expatriate American; he fell in love with New Zealand in his youth and never went home.
391
I grew up in Austria, and for me real comfort food is Wiener Schnitzel. Wiener Schnitzel and mashed potatoes because it reminds me of my youth… It reminds me when I grow up and it feels very comforting.
392
Like John Kennedy in 1960, Obama combines youth, vigor, and good looks with the promise of political change. Like Kennedy, he grew up in unusual circumstances that distance him from ordinary American life.
393
Property is unstable, and youth perishes in a moment. Life itself is held in the grinning fangs of Death, Yet men delay to obtain release from the world. Alas, the conduct of mankind is surprising.
394
She gave up beauty in her tender youth, gave all her hope and joy and pleasant ways; she covered up her eyes lest they should gaze on vanity, and chose the bitter truth.
395
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.

408
We’re constantly told that running will ruin our knees and outrage our hearts, but for nearly all of human existence, it was associated with freedom, vitality, and eternal youth.
409
Dress codes and gestures and attitudes have always inspired me, as has youth culture in general, although now I question it more. If you analyze youth cultures over history, there has always been something strict about them – you have to be like this or like that.
410
In the United States, the fact that you can start again gives a lot of energy and strength and youth to this country. That is why it’s so powerful in many ways, and so creative.
411
Distance and difference become irrelevant as our technology connects youth from Vancouver, Toronto, Iqaluit, Attawapiskat, Delhi, Nairobi – anywhere – to learn from and about each other.
412
Youth is a silly, vapid state, Old age with fears and ills is rife; This simple boon I beg of Fate – A thousand years of Middle Life.
413
If our hearts are ready for anything, we can open to our inevitable losses, and to the depths of our sorrow. We can grieve our lost loves, our lost youth, our lost health, our lost capacities. This is part of our humanness, part of the expression of our love for life.
414
I’ve done a lot of great things playing for this country and this national team in the youth stage.
415
We have adopted a multi-pronged strategy against the attempts to radicalise the youth of the country. On the one hand, we have successfully de-radicalised our youth, and on the other hand, our security agencies have also taken action against certain individuals for their links and association with terror organisations.
416
Take a course in good water and air; and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you.
417
In my youth I dreamed of being an illustrator.
418
When I got ‘Youth,’ I also got a small role in ‘Star Wars.’ I didn’t know what to do. I decided to choose based on the character.
419
Interest is the spur of the people, but glory that of great souls. Invention is the talent of youth, and judgment of age.
420
I’ll take anyone to task about UB40. They were as important as Bob Marley in getting reggae into the consciousness of British youth at that time. I’m proud to be their number one fan.
421
I am super-proud to have a sort of famous character in my background that if you’re a certain age, he was probably a part of your youth. I think that’s pretty cool.
422
Literature – Eastern and Western – abounds with stories, myths, legends about the search for youth, for eternal life.
423
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
424
Heads Up Football is a comprehensive youth and high school football membership program developed by U.S.A. Football and supported by the NFL and other leaders in sport and medicine to advance player safety.
425
America is obsessed with youth. We all want to look young forever, and vampires do. They are caught in their prime, if that’s when they’ve been turned. And they’ll be that way forever.
426
I think actors always retain one foot in the cradle. We’re switched on to our youth, to our childhood. We have to be because we’re in the business of transferring emotions to other people.
427
The causes of youth violence are working parents who put their kids into daycare, the teaching of evolution in the schools, and working mothers who take birth control pills.
428
I took up drama and did so much extracurricular work, like the National Youth Theatre and Guildhall’s Saturday school. Acting is where I felt most comfortable and how I wanted to express myself.
429
When I was 16, I played Macbeth at school and my English teacher said, ‘I think you may have acting talent. Try to get into the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain and see where you get.’ I wouldn’t have thought of that at all. I wanted to be a surgeon, but I wasn’t a clever man.
430
My half-suppressed Canadian years, my whole childhood and youth, rose like a corpse from the bottom of the sea to confront me.
431
Forty is the old age of youth, fifty is the youth of old age.
432
I would advise all youths aspiring to athletic fame or a professional career to practice clean living, fair play and good sportsmanship.
433
I think how Chicago plays a role in my life – it had such a role in my youth and the decisions that I made as a kid and formulated who I am as an artist early on.
434
Life is short, youth is finite, and opportunities endless. Have you found the intersection of your passion and the potential for world-shaping positive impact? If you don’t have a great idea of your own, there are plenty of great teams that need you – unknown startups and established teams in giant companies alike.
435
Enthusiasm – a distemper of youth, curable by small doses of repentance in connection with outward applications of experience.
436
Ajax have a set model, a defined youth programme – Barcelona have one too, and Juventus. And Atletico Madrid do too. Real Madrid don’t – because they alternate developing their own players with signing talent.
437
I was in the U.K. and Germany and went to Volkswagen and learned about their apprenticeship model – young people become paid apprentices in trades. It’s not a coincidence that youth unemployment is far lower in Germany than the United States because there are paid opportunities for young people to get experience.
438
The aging process is totally minimizing. Life in general is pretty minimizing because you have a lot of big ideas, and you have to battle the mistaken delusions and instability that come with youth.
439
If I have any complaints about my youth… one is that many well-meaning adults lied to me. Not spiteful lies with malicious intent but lies designed to prevent emotional and psychological pain – lies told by the people who cared about me most: my parents, teachers, relatives.
440
I work with the Carl Lewis Foundation focusing on youth from high school down.
441
I mention my age because I find people in this country – women, not men, of course – women are so troubled by their age. There’s a culture of youth, and it’s a phony culture.
442
Sen. Rand Paul is a Different Kind of Republican. He will drag the party, kicking and screaming, toward a new kind of conservatism that appeals more to today’s youth, who embrace liberty and are skeptical of foreign intervention.
443
I was born in Chicago, then I spent most of my youth in Joliet, Illinois which is about thirty minutes south, and I went to a military academy for high school in Wisconsin. Then I went to college, on a basketball scholarship to a small school in Iowa, so I’m like Mr. Midwest.
444
I always loved acting and improv and sketch comedy and theater, which I did at a local youth theater.
445
People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It’s very selfish, but it’s understandable.
446
The most significant social pathology of my youth was the generation gap.
447
When I was a student I was very, very ambitious, completely immersed in my comedy career. I never had that period of reckless hedonism that you should get out of your system in your youth.
448
I’m interested in youth culture and popular culture.
449
Let not our proposal be disregarded on the score of our youth.
450
The Middle East has the highest unemployment percentage of any region in the world we have the largest youth cohort of history coming into the market place that frustration does translate into the political sphere when people are hungry and without jobs.
451
I’m just trying to find the fountain of youth. I’m trying to find some drops and sprinkle it in there. I’ll find the well.
452
In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare!
453
Being a successful team is maybe not enough. It’s about setting a standard, not just for ourselves but also for the youth that is coming through at Manchester City.
454
There’s a confidence that comes from youth and not knowing better. But there comes a point, as an actor, when you do know better, and that is when the fear starts.
455
My idea is always to reach my generation. The wise writer writes for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever afterward.
456
We’re rewarding either the reality or the appearance of youth, which is why you have all these people in their fifties trying to act like they’re seventeen. You know, it’s great to be young. Be young. By all means, be young. But always remember that youth is also kinda dumb, and doesn’t know a lot yet.
457
I’ve never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It’s probably because they have forgotten their own.
458
It’s the youth movement we have. A lot of young guys with a lot of passion. It brings the fun back to the game.
459
Let your youth have free reign. It won’t come again, so be bold, and no repenting.
460
I certainly could’ve gone off track many, many times in my youth.
461
All your youth you want to have your greatness taken for granted; when you find it taken for granted, you are unnerved.
462
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.
463
I write incredibly slowly. And, on top of that, I spent my entire youth and twenties working like a dog, so one of the things that happened when I finished ‘Drown’ was that I got busy living. I’d never travelled, I’d never seen anything. So I did as much travelling as my job teaching would allow.
464
One only has to look at the performance of the economy to understand how it shapes the perspective of America’s youth about military service.
465
When the American spirit was in its youth, the language of America was different: Liberty, sir, was the primary object.
466
Nothing is more misleading to the youth of a nation than to state the outcome immediately after the beginning as if nothing could have taken place in between.
467
I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.
468
Youth is a time when we find the books we give up but do not get over.
469
War is horrible because it strangles youth.
470
As a child, our house had a backyard lined with roses tended vigilantly by my mother. So the fragrance fills me with nostalgia for my youth.
471
Plato found fault that the poets of his time filled the world with wrong opinions of the gods, making light tales of that unspotted essence, and therefore would not have the youth depraved with such opinions.
472
I understand that many young men and women are coming forward to join Youth Congress. I am not surprised. It is only natural. The vast majority of our youth is sober and idealistic. It looks forward to an era of disciplined, planned, constructive activity.
473
Most poets in their youth begin in adolescent sadness. I find it more rewarding to end in gladness.
474
When my body and face were perfect as far as youth, I wasn’t happy.
475
You’ve got to have a young element in a show. Any project needs youth and dynamism as well old codgerdom and experience.
476
My mum came from nothing and didn’t have many opportunities in her youth, and she blames a lot of her social inadequacies on that.
477
I feel in me the vocation of the Priest. I have the vocation of the Apostle. Martyrdom was the dream of my youth, and this dream has grown with me. Considering the mystical body of the Church, I desired to see myself in them all.
478
I am something of an aficionado of thrift stores. In my youth, I regularly searched their shelves for old books.
479
It’s like a rugby team. If you’re picking for the World Cup final, you’re picking experience with youth. Everything is better off having that balance and that mix. I think that, especially, goes for the monarchy as well.
480
I spent my entire youth in front of a TV watching old movies, and as soon as I was able to get a subway pass, when I was 14, I joined the Museum of Modern Art and was there all weekend watching old movies.
481
When I was playing in the Ajax youth teams – when I was, say, 14, 15 – you started to get all those international youth tournaments. All those English teams came. Well, the English were much further than we were.
482
The lessons of their early youth regulated the conduct of their riper years.
483
I was fortunate enough to have a rambling youth.
484
A man’s character never changes radically from youth to old age. What happens is that circumstances bring out characteristics which have not been obvious to the superficial observer.
485
One of my dreams in life is to do fund-raising for the youth.
486
Hollywood embraced me in the late ’80s because there was a good project I was in and it was different. Nowadays, it’s about corporate mentality, box office, youth.
487
We all make mistakes, and we all need second chances. For youth in foster care, these mistakes are often purposeful – if not consciously so; a way to test the strength of a bond and establish trust in a new parent.
488
If I go see a band, and they play, like, zero from any of their old albums, I’m very happy about that. I do not want to see the bands of my youth playing the songs of my youth. I hate that.
489
Youth culture now really looks back and embraces the past, but keeps it contemporary but not sticking to one particular style.
490
The youth is the hope of our future.
491
If you look not just at the Arab Spring, but at what I call the ‘Youth Spring’ that has started in Europe, young people are starting to find a voice, and they are not looking to the traditional media to reflect that.
492
Satan knows that youth is the springtime of life when all things are new and young people are most vulnerable.
493
All of us who are worth anything, spend our manhood in unlearning the follies, or expiating the mistakes of our youth.
494
The Ramones own the fountain of youth. Experiencing us is like having the fountain of youth.
495
I used to do a lot of serious theatre during my school and college days. Comedy was only reserved for youth festival and inter-college competitions. Then once ‘The Great Indian Laughter Challenge’ was launched, a regional channel in Punjab started a program based on that. I participated in it and emerged as the winner.
496
I think it’s natural for youth to be drawn to newness: The world is still new for them.
497
Youth should be a savings bank.
498
There is no more effective way to radicalize American Muslim youth than for political leaders to make public displays of prejudice against all Muslims. Suspicion will undermine their sense of identification with America and alienate some from both the culture and from politics.
499
I grew up in a sport that didn’t allow you to grow up. There was always the threat of younger competition. So you had to maintain the image of youth.
500
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it.
501
In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.
502
The youth movement is aware that old visions can not take Egypt into the future.
503
For the youth, the indignation of most things will just surge as each birthday passes.
504
I do believe the aura of the Olympics is the greatest platform for sport and when one achieves success there it is sure to fire up the imagination of the youth.
505
Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
506
Reading ‘Youth in Revolt’ might have ruined my career because suddenly I wanted to abandon all the emotional truth of something and just go out far on a literary limb with completely implausible things that relied completely on voice and humor. And what saved me is realizing that I couldn’t do that very well.
507
I am a huge advocate for anti-bullying in our youth. What I have seen with the rise of social media is that children are not facing bullying on a playground, they are facing it on their cell phones.
508
What’s a man’s age? He must hurry more, that’s all; Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold.
509
There is no man, however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived in a way the consciousness of which is so unpleasant to him in later life that he would gladly, if he could, expunge it from his memory.
510
Youth is ever apt to judge in haste, and lose the medium in the wild extreme.
511
In a novel, I think you have a contract with the reader to make the character representative – of a moment in history, a social class… for instance, I wanted to make the boy in ‘A Boy’s Own Story’ more like other gay men of my generation in their youth and not like me.
512
I do beseech you to direct your efforts more to preparing youth for the path and less to preparing the path for the youth.
513
Thus the castle of each feudal chieftain became a school of chivalry, into which any noble youth, whose parents were from poverty unable to educate him to the art of war, was readily received.
514
The worship of youth has diminished – perhaps generally – in recent years.
515
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
516
I tend to look out for things with a resonance to my youth – artists or objects that seemed romantic all those years ago. I never buy anything purely for its value. I like possessions that smile back at me.
517
Sonic Youth was a collective. There’s something fantastic about the idea of making music is a social activity.
518
Many thousands of youth have been deprived of the benefit of education thereby, their morals ruined, and talents irretrievably lost to society, for want of cultivation: while two parties have been idly contending who should bestow it.
519
I do not have the angst and the anxiety of my youth. I’ve gotten to a place where I’m very comfortable with who I am.
520
Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.
521
Let those who, still in their youth, have preserved their faith and fullness of hope, keep looking up.
522
Every place has its own punk flavor, but they all borrowed ideas from SoCal. It’s still a vibrant scene creeping into every crevasse of youth culture. When you hear grunge, you think of the ’90s, but when you hear L.A. punk, it’s timeless.
523
I grew up in the ’90s, so I’ve definitely resurrected many looks from my youth lately, including overalls, jelly shoes, and, of course, Doc Martens.
524
The three ages of man: youth, middle age and ‘my word you do look well’.
525
I know that a good many champions have entertained the thought that the more they discourage youngsters, the longer they would reign. However, this theory never impressed me, and I always made it a point to give youths the benefit of my experience in bicycle racing.
526
We need affordable space travel to inspire our youth, to let them know that they can experience their dreams, can set significant goals and be in a position to lead all of us to future progress in exploration, discovery and fun. Thanks to the X Prize for the inspiration.
527
I would very much like to make Westerns. I love Westerns. I’ve worked on many Westerns in my youth, in Spain and here, and I love working on them.
528
Not less, but more democracy – that is the demand, that is the great goal that we have to prescribe for ourselves, and especially for our youth.
529
I had a very nice, cozy childhood. I did lots of plays at school and worked with the National Youth Theatre as a teenager.
530
I grew up playing games, and I remember Christmas 1981 when my dad got us an Intellivision, and we all sat around and played ‘Astrosmash’ for hours on end. It was a big part of my youth.
531
I discovered philosophy in my youth when I read ‘wildly,’ and thus I was exposed to the world of ideas.
532
I personally pledge myself to openly counsel, aid, and abet youth, both black and white, to quarantine any Jim Crow conscription system.
533
India’s educated youth is skill-deficient, risk averse in attitude, and largely unemployable in the cutting-edge manufacturing sector.
534
The arrogance of age must submit to be taught by youth.
535
When I recall today my early youth, I should take the boy that I then was, with the exception of a few individual features, for a different person, were it not for the existence of the chain of memories.
536
I’ve watched parents sometimes on the touchlines at youth games, and they are screaming and shouting, which is not the way to go.
537
I suppose, to be fair, I don’t miss the energy of youth very much – because I was never fit. So it doesn’t matter not being able to walk miles, striding the countryside, taking deep breaths and enjoying the scenery. That was never on my agenda.
538
A lot of them want to come and play for Manchester United. They want to play because Alex has a record of giving youth a chance and we have the history and heritage of Manchester United.
539
I have been aware since my youth that I am a Hebrew through my mother, and that is something that has played a subtle but important role in my development.
540
Beauty and youth can stay inside, but it doesn’t outside.
541
Youth is something I never wanna take for granted. I just want to smile and live life.
542
It’s lamented that the youth get their news from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. It’s lamentable that they get more from them than from the news.
543
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades. A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful.
544
Age considers; youth ventures.
545
It’s not that I’m apolitical… In my youth, I was a freelance political speechwriter, which taught me a lot about writing fiction, I must add.
546
I’m a writer; as soon as I imagine what would happen if I found the fountain of youth, it turns into a dystopia in my head.
547
I was just a lot smarter about not getting caught. I mean, I never stuck anything in my arm, but I certainly enjoyed my youth.
548
Sport is not just about entertainment. It is equally about winning and losing, pooling and galvanising the energy of the youth, upgrading people’s physical fitness and mental prowess.
549
My youth is escaping without giving me anything it owes me.
550
Worse than not realizing the dreams of your youth, would be to have been young and never dreamed at all.
551
We can either allow our youth to shoot baskets or watch them continue to shoot people.
552
There is a crying need today to have this truth heralded throughout the land that youth especially may appreciate and hold the freedom of the individual as sacred as did our revolutionary fathers.
553
I have the courage of youth, and I’m not afraid of anything. My only enemies are illegality and corruption.
554
The advantage of age is that you swap youth for wisdom. You’re so full of insecurities when you’re young. ‘Who am I? What do I have to do for people to like me?’ You get caught up in things. You get very emotional about things.
555
With all my heart, I plead with the Latter-day Saints to live honestly with the Lord in the payment of tithes and offerings. I plead with youth to establish this habit while you are still young and to resolve to continue with it all the days of your lives.
556
Alas! they had been friends in youth; but whispering tongues can poison truth.
557
Youth is the spirit of adventure and awakening. It is a time of physical emerging when the body attains the vigor and good health that may ignore the caution of temperance. Youth is a period of timelessness when the horizons of age seem too distant to be noticed.
558
I spent my entire youth being in love with gay men because they were the most interesting and compassionate people I knew.
559
When I was playing with ADO Den Hag in the youth teams at that time I was quite strong because I was used to older people.
560
It’s my job to accept my youth, to spread my story, to let people know who I am as an individual, because there’s so many people who are blinded and think less of me because of my skin color.
561
I have founded Khudi, in Pakistan, a youth movement which tries to counter extremist ideology through healthy discussion and debate.
562
Parents sometimes make not those allowances for youth, which, when young, they wished to be made for themselves.
563
I left home when I was 13. When I was 15, I was living in a youth hostel, and I was the 167-pound amateur wrestling champion.
564
We are involved in youth testing internationally. We want to try to prove without a shadow of a doubt the relationship between physical fitness and health, not just physical fitness and ability to perform.
565
I worked at a daycare for a couple of years going through high school and college. I did youth sports camps. I ran all the camps through my college.
566
I don’t care if Margot is a Dame of the British Empire or older than myself. For me she represents eternal youth; there is an absolute musical quality in her beautiful body and phrasing. Because we are sincere and gifted, an intense abstract love is born between us every time we dance together.
567
Anirudh is phenomenal. His popularity among the youth is to be seen and heard to be believed.
568
Tutors who make youth learned do not always make them virtuous.
569
Fashion is inspired by youth and nostalgia and draws inspiration from the best of the past.
570
The USA have recently done well in the Olympics and the Youth World Cup. So I think there will be some good young players available in the future, and not too expensive which is important to the club.
571
So, rap has that quality, for youth anyway; it’s a kind of blues element. It’s physical, almost gymnastic. It speaks to you organically. Rap grows out of what young people really are today, not only black youth, but white – everybody.
572
The ideal of an all-sided education for youth had always been close to my heart. I saw clearly the arid results of ordinary instruction, aimed only at the development of body and intellect.
573
I was obsessed with work in my youth. It’s why I didn’t get married until I was 38 and the reason I didn’t have kids.
574
That word ‘prodigy’ has such a derogatory implication. It is used to describe people who are forced to play a lot of concerts very early, people whose audience comes because of their youth, people who are exploited. None of the above really applied to me.
575
I feel like my role is to be one of those voices who reaches the youth.
576
I discovered something amazing, which has caused a lot of controversy – the fountain of youth. I have to keep it a secret!
577
Obviously, Jay-Z is one of the greatest entertainers of the world today. Not only is he a remarkable rhetorical genius, he’s also a man of deep sympathy and empathy for those who are lost and vulnerable, but especially under-educated youth of all cultures and stripes.
578
