Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock.
Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle, Old Age a regret.
Difficulties should act as a tonic. They should spur us to greater exertion.
All generations of teens have it hard, I think. Each society and century has its struggles that the others can't compare to.
We have a powerful potential in out youth, and we must have the courage to change old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power toward good ends.
A lot of people struggle in their younger years, and I think people can relate to that.
Experience is a revelation in the light of which we renounce our errors of youth for those of age.
Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
In youth we learn; in age we understand.
In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.
