Quotes about Youth

Have they no mercy for youth? no love for the souls who have loved them?

On war's red techstone rang true metal;
Who ventered life an' love an' youth
For the gret prize o' death in battle?

And time seemed but the vassal of my will,

Of our immortal youth.
The pure, the beautiful, the bright,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulse to a wordless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth,
The longings after something lost,
The spirit's yearning cry,
The strivings after better hopes,--
These things can never die.

I 'd rather be youthful than old;

In youth is pleasure
