The lessons of their early youth regulated the conduct of their riper years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Well, youth is the period of assumed personalities and disguises. It is the time of the sincerely insincere.
Youth condemns; maturity condones.
Experiences from our youth shape what we do later in life.
It is not sufficient for the young to devote their enthusiasm, their courage, their ambition, their self-sacrifice to the great ideas of the time; the young must not only preserve but increase their powers if they are to be really equal to their eternal task: that of drawing the age in advance.
Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.
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.
Youth is the time of getting, middle age of improving, and old age of spending.
In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.
Adolescence was only recognised as a life stage in the early 20th century, when psychologists got down to work. Today's generational battle obscures the fact that adulthood is happening later. A new transitional stage has emerged after adolescence: the twenties.
Youth is not a question of years: one is young or old from birth.
