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

With young people, there's often that carelessness, allowing yourself to get into danger - recklessness, I suppose.

If youth knew; if age could.

Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.

The young are adept at learning, but even more adept at avoiding it.

The brain, which is plastic when young, must be exposed to certain sights early in life, or it will remain blind to those sights forever.

How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living?

It is inevitable that many ideas of the young mind will later have to give way to the hard realities of life.

If youth is a defect, it is one we outgrow too soon.
