The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
Youth is about the only thing worth having, and that is about the only thing youth has.
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.

Youth is a circumstance you can't do anything about. The trick is to grow up without getting old.
Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
