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
American Writer, Poet
The
young are permanently in a state resembling
intoxication.
-- Aristotle
BC 384-322, Greek
Philosopher
They
[Young People] have exalted notions, because they
have not been humbled by life or learned its
necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful
disposition makes them think themselves equal to
great things -- and that means having exalted
notions. They would always rather do noble deeds
than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by
moral feeling than by reasoning -- all their
mistakes are in the direction of doing things
excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything
-- they love too much, hate too much, and the same
with everything else.
-- Aristotle
BC 384-322, Greek
Philosopher
I've
never understood why people consider youth a time of
freedom and joy. It's probably because they have
forgotten their own.
-- Margaret Atwood
