--J. HAWES.
The best rules to form a young man are, to talk little, to hear much,
to reflect alone upon what has passed in company, to distrust one's
own opinions, and value others' that deserve it.--SIR W. TEMPLE.
Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.--ECCLESIASTES 12:1.
What we sow in youth we reap in age; the seed of the thistle always
produces the thistle.--J.T. FIELDS.
I love the acquaintance of young people; because, in the first place,
I do not like to think myself growing old. In the next place, young
acquaintances must last longest, if they do last; and then, sir, young
men have more virtue than old men; they have more generous sentiments
in every respect.--DR. JOHNSON.
Girls we love for what they are; young men for what they promise to
be.--GOETHE.
Reckless youth makes rueful age.--FRANKLIN.
Oh! the joy
Of young ideas painted on the mind,
In the warm glowing colors fancy spreads
On objects not yet known, when all is new,
And all is lovely.
--HANNAH MORE.
In the lexicon of youth which fate reserves for a bright manhood,
there is no such word as fail.--LYTTON.
If the world does improve on the whole, yet youth must always begin
anew, and go through the stages of culture from the beginning.--GOETHE.
Young men think old men fools, and old men know young men to be
so.--DR. METCALF.
As I approve of a youth, that has something of the old man in him, so
I am no less pleased with an old man, that has something of the
youth.
