It is only the young and callow and ignorant that admire rashness. Think before you speak. Know your subject.

Resistance to criminal rashness comes better late than never.

Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.

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.

I really am a thinker. I don't do things rash. I know some of the things I've said or the way I act seem rash. But I do take ownership of it. I don't say things I don't mean.

Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.

Youth is a silly, vapid state, Old age with fears and ills is rife; This simple boon I beg of Fate - A thousand years of Middle Life.

It may be taken for granted that, rash as Americans usually are, when they are prudent, there is good reason for it.

Youth is ever apt to judge in haste, and lose the medium in the wild extreme.

But if the young are never tired of erring in conduct, neither are the older in erring of judgment.
