The joy of youth is to disobey; but the trouble is that there are no longer any orders
Reading, solitude, idleness, a soft and sedentary life, intercourse with women and young people, these are perilous paths for a young man, and these lead him constantly into danger
The passions of the young are vices in the old
Ask the young. They know everything
When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not
There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist
Youth covets; let not this covetousness seduce you
Keep true to the dreams of your youth
Youth is too hasty with words
Let not our proposal be disregarded on the score of our youth
