Youth

Sweet wine of youth.

In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes;

I am putting old heads on your young shoulders … all my pupils are the crème de la crème.

And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose

YOUTH SMILES WITHOUT ANY REASON. IT IS ONE OF ITS CHIEFEST CHARMS.

It is not possible for civilization to flow backward while there is youth in the world.

The arrogance of age must submit to be taught by youth.

A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.

Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.

Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor.

A very riband in the cap of youth.

Youth’s the season made for joys, Love is then our duty.

Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr blows, While proudly riding o’er the azure realm In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes; Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm; Regardless of the sweeping whirlwind’s sway, That, hush’d in grim repose, expects his evening prey.

My love she’s but a lassie yet.

Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,

Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.

O yonge, fresshe folkes, he or she, In which that love up groweth with youre age, Repeyreth hom fro worldly vanyte.

He was indeed the glass Wherein the noble youth did dress themselves.

Green grow the rashes, O; Green grow the rashes, O; The sweetest hours that e’er I spend Are spent among the lasses, O.

NO MAN KNOWS HE IS YOUNG WHILE HE IS YOUNG.

Baited like eagles having lately bath’d… As full of spirit as the month of May, And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer.

But, Lord Crist! whan that it remembreth me Upon my yowthe, and on my jolitee, It tikleth me aboute myn herte roote. Unto this day it dooth myn herte boote That I have had my world as in my tyme.

You speak like a green girl, Unsifted in such perilous circumstance.

An unlesson’d girl, unschool’d, unpractic’d; Happy in this, she is not yet so old But she may learn.
