Youth has needs, I know,
And headlong yearnings like the mountain streams
That rush adown the nearest path they find
To meet the sounding river.
ANNA KATHERINE GREEN
"Womanhood"
Youth is often a scoffer at destiny.
EDWARD COUNSEL
Maxims
We are young only once, after that we need some other excuse.
ANONYMOUS
When you're young, you think you can handle anything. By the time you find out otherwise, it's already too late. You got a stocking wrapped around your neck.

A man that is young in years, may be old in hours, if he have lost no time.
FRANCIS BACON
"Of Youth And Age", The Essays or Counsels, Civil and Moral
All of us who are worth anything spend our manhood in unlearning the follies, or expiating the mistakes of our youth.
PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

I am glad it cannot happen twice, the fever of first love. For it is a fever, and a burden, too, whatever the poets may say.

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
Maiden, that read'st this simple rhyme,
Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay;
Enjoy the fragrance of thy prime,
For oh, it is not always May!
HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW
"It Is Not Always May"
The period of youth is the glory of nature, and the healthful development of all the resources of strength deposited in our nature is the glory of youth.
ELIAS LYMAN MAGOON
Proverbs for the people: or, Illustrations of practical godliness drawn from the Book of Wisdom
In the days of thy youth seek to obtain that which shall compensate the losses of thy old age.
LEONARDO DA VINCI
Thoughts on Art and Life
Youth is not a time of life--it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of red cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a temper of the will; a quality of the imagination; a vigor of the emotions; it is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempermental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over a life of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty, more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals.
SAMUEL ULLMAN
"Youth", The Silver Treasury, Prose and Verse for Every Mood
So wise so young, they say, do never live long.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Richard III
There is a very prevalent tenet with youth, that good company is every thing desirable, and that bad is even better than none.
NORMAN MACDONALD
Maxims and Moral Reflections
Try to hold on to youth and it mocks you while it sprints away.
FRANK HERBERT
Chapterhouse: Dune
Kings live in Palaces, and Pigs in sties,
And youth in Expectation. Youth is wise.
HILAIRE BELLOC
"Habitations", Sonnets and Verses
Life goes on. Get over it. You're still young. It'll get better. Blah, Blah, Blah.
DAVID LEVITHAN
Marly's Ghost
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
ALPHAVILLE
"Forever Young"
