Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth.
Youth offers the promise of happiness, but life offers the realities of grief.
Youth must be wanton, youth must be quick, Dance to the candle while lasteth the wick.

Youth is like having a big plate of candy. Sentimentalists think they want to be in the pure, simple state they were in before they ate the candy. They don’t. They just want the fun of eating it all over again.
Youth is like a fickle girlfriend. We can’t understand or value her until she goes off with someone else, never to return…
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a shame it’s wasted on children.
Youth is a failing only too easily outgrown.
Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young…
