Life is short, youth is finite, and opportunities endless
Not for no cold did freeze, Nor any cloud beguile Th'eternal flowering spring
Ken Griffey changed the game, but he also represented pop culture and the youth - how he wore his hat backwards, how he swung the bat and walked off. . . he brought energy to the game, class to the game. He was kind of the first person I really watched. He was a big influence.
I have never yet heard any middle-aged man or woman who worked with his or her brains express any regret for the passing of youth.
I’ve never known fear; as a youth I fought In endless battles. I am old, now, But I will fight again, seek fame still, If the dragon hiding in his tower dares To face me
The new generation has to hear what the older generation refuses to tell it.
I think actors always retain one foot in the cradle. We're switched on to our youth, to our childhood. We have to be because we're in the business of transferring emotions to other people.
My belief in the growth and permanence of democracy is undimmed. I know that the people will cast off the new dictatorship as they did the old. I believe as firmly as in my youth that humanity will surmount the era of poverty and war. Life will be happier and more beautiful for all. I believe in the GOLDEN AGE.
Old age hath stronger sense of right than youth.
I am a soldier and accustomed to risking my life every day. I am full of the fire of youth; I cannot act with the restraint of an accomplished diplomat.
Young people ought not to be idle, it is very bad for them.
We've become obsessed with beauty and the fountain of youth and, frankly, I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of that.
I've never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It's probably because they have forgotten their own.
When my daughter left for college, I lost my in-house consultant to youth culture. There's just stuff I don't get. And there's something kind of pathetic about someone my age trying to pretend she gets it, so I don't try to pretend.
In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.
I think the new generations in America, the America's youth, no longer care about Vietnam. They don't want to hear any more about it.
We have to step up as adults and try to guide our youth.
I think that my life changed at 50. Many things happened. Menopause, the end of youth and my daughter died that year after being a whole year in a coma. So I think that I changed and I became an elder at 50.
It's hard enough to go through puberty. Everyone's embarassed about their youth, but if just happens that the '80s were particularly disgusting. Flock of Seagulls is not cool.
Education beats the beauty and the youth.
