When I was younger, I used to have more flair, I used to do more tricks, the nutmegs, the step-overs.

It’s not easy being young. It’s hard to know what to do.

To be renewed is everything. What more could one ask for than to have one’s youth back again?

In this bright future you can’t forget your past.

The world’s biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.

Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.

Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them.

Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.

Some people seem to fade away but then when they are truly gone, it’s like they didn’t fade away at all.

In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society, it is a good thing, if you possess great talent, to give, early in your youth, a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that, be a snob.

San Francisco is gone. Nothing remains of it but memories.

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

NASA has been one of the most successful public investments in motivating students to do well and achieve all they can achieve. It’s sad that we are turning the programme in a direction where it will reduce the amount of motivation and stimulation it provides to young people.

If I hadn’t been a woman, I’d be a drag queen for sure. I like all that flair and I’d be dressing up in them high heels and putting on the big hair. I’d be like Ru Paul.

I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.

It is unbecoming for young men to utter maxims.

I remember the first time I had sex – I kept the receipt.

After all, life hasn’t much to offer except youth, and I suppose for older people, the love of youth in others.

In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.

My relationship with the mountains actually started when I was 16. Every year, a group used to be taken from Auckland Grammar down to the Tangariro National Park for a skiing holiday.

We will explore the mysteries of science and harness the power of technology and innovation. We will realise the opportunities of the digital world. Our youth will learn more from – and with – each other.

When I was younger, I felt pressure to become someone else once I became successful.

Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

Upon the farm of the uncle with whom I lived, we did know of the mortgage as some dreadful damper on youthful hopes of things that could not be bought. I do have a vivid recollection that the major purpose of a farm was to produce a living right on the spot for the family.

Those whom the gods love grow young.

Genius goes around the world in its youth incessantly apologizing for having large feet. What wonder that later in life it should be inclined to raise those feet too swiftly to fools and bores.

My childhood was endless – from eight to 18 felt like hundreds of years.

I’m from the generation that had the boys‘ door and the girls‘ door when you went to school, and you got in big trouble if you went in the wrong one.

I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.

Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant.

In fact, you couldn’t give me anything to make me go back to being a teenager. Never. No, I hated it.

The Youth of a Nation are the trustees of posterity.

When I was younger, I was testing myself and questioning everything, but now it’s less about that and more about these are the years of my life with my family.

My parents were divorced by the time I was even conscious – like, I don’t remember them ever being together.

I can only say the first thing that pops into my mind is I remember, years ago, seeing kind of a has-been country singer working – when I first moved to Nashville – in a bar in a Holiday Inn.

Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories.

I still have my unemployment books and I remember when I worked for the sanitation department and the post office.

I never saw any of my dad’s stories. My mother said he had piles and piles of manuscripts.

All of my walls are covered with framed pictures of my friends.

Music was an experience, intimately married to your life. You could pay to hear music, but after you did, it was over, gone – a memory.

The nice thing is that when people come up to me, it’s the football they remember, not all the other rubbish.

I like to reminisce with people I don’t know.

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.

Many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased.

Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt.

Basketball is booming, and it’s not just an Under Armour standpoint: it’s about the game itself. Kids going out and playing and being inspired by what we do on the court.

There’s something about pulling out a real tape from a shelf and looking at it and knowing that ‚Everlong‘ is on it, or ‚Best of You‘ is on it, and it’s really special.

For me, there are two types of people: the young and the experienced.

He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young.

When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn’t believe in.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I’d sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn’t miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.

Everybody’s youth is a dream, a form of chemical madness.

When I was young I didn’t care about education, just money and box office.

Christmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God’s perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year.

Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don’t have brains enough to be honest.

I still close my eyes and go home – I can always draw from that.

I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one’s memories.

Genius, when young, is divine.

And when I was young, my family was perfectly nice. I write a lot about it, as you noticed. But it was rather limited. I think, I don’t think anyone in my family would really feel I’d done them an injustice by saying that. We didn’t see many people. There were many books. It was as if I wanted to get away from home.

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

Experience which was once claimed by the aged is now claimed exclusively by the young.
