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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's nothing more arrogant or conceited than youth, and there's nothing other than machinery that can replace youth.
The duty of youth is to challenge corruption.
The arrogance of age must submit to be taught by youth.
A good youth ought to have a fear of God, to be subject to his parents, to give honor to his elders, to preserve his purity; he ought not to despise humility, but should love forbearance and modesty. All these are an ornament to youthful years.
Every youth owes it to himself and to the world to make the most possible out of the stuff that is in him.
The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him.
A strenuous effort must be made to train young people to think for themselves and take independent charge of their lives.
Youth doesn't reason, it acts. The old man reasons and would like to make the others act in his place.
That arrogance of youth and that kind of ignorant confidence can get you through a whole lot of things, and then life does its stuff, and you get smashed around and beaten up. You get full of doubts, and you end up making a person out of those bits and pieces.
To many a man, and sometimes to a youth, there comes the opportunity to choose between honorable competence and tainted wealth. The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable, holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success.
