The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Youth is to all the glad season of life; but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.
Yes, the experience of all stages of life are valuable, not just of youth.
Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.
So many young people are coming out of a generation that has experienced deep woundedness and brokenness, and they are full of life. They are eager to engage. They care about community, and they care about one another.
Well, youth is the period of assumed personalities and disguises. It is the time of the sincerely insincere.
I've never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It's probably because they have forgotten their own.
I think it's natural for youth to be drawn to newness: The world is still new for them.
Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant.
Youth is the spirit of adventure and awakening. It is a time of physical emerging when the body attains the vigor and good health that may ignore the caution of temperance. Youth is a period of timelessness when the horizons of age seem too distant to be noticed.
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
