The young man must store up, the old man must use.

I was born at a very early age. Before I had time to regret it, I was four and a half years old.

Even members of the nobility, let alone persons of no consequence, would do well not to have children. 

I’ve never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It’s probably because they have forgotten their own.

Bright youth passes as quickly as thought.

The young always have the same problem—how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their elders and copying one another.

Rejoice, young man, while you are young, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Follow the inclination of your heart and the desire of your eyes, but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

The young leading the young is like the blind leading the blind.

Ah, there are no children nowadays.

Youth, youth, springtime of beauty.

No time to marry, no time to settle down, I’m a young woman, and ain’t done runnin’ round.

Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt.

Most men employ the first years of their life in making the last miserable.
