YOUTH

Youth has no age,

The young do not know enough to be prudent,

And therefore they attempt the impossible,

And achieve it generation after generation,

Youth is not a question of years: one is young or old from birth,

Use your youth so that you may have comfort to remember it,

When it has forsaken you,

And not sigh and grieve at the account thereof.

Youth's the season made for joys,

Love is then our duty,

Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done,

Your life, time and brain should belong to you not to an institution,

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world,

Aspire to inspire before we expire.

Goodness is the only investment that never fails,

Whatever you do; do it well,

You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus,

Winners never quit and quitters never win,

You have to grow from the inside out,

Logic will get you from A to B,

Imagination will take you everywhere,

The world belongs to the energetic.

Enjoy the power of your beauty and your youth,

But once we live all careless free,

No cross to mar our love-lit bower,

Youth is a gift of nature but age is a work of art,

You're here to continually push forward and move forward,

That's where I'm at - I just want to always surprise people,

Make each day your masterpiece.

In relative youth we assume we'll remember everything,

Someone should urge the young to think otherwise,

This is what is missing in the youth today,

This being able to dream and to change the world,

There was no respect for youth when I was young,

And now that I am old, there is no respect for age,

I missed it coming and going.
