If youth is a fault, it is one that one gets rid of soon enough.

What you desire when young, you have in abundance when old.

Beware of wishing for anything in youth, because you will get it in middle age.

Rash, inexperienced youth holds itself a chosen instrument, and allows itself unbounded license.

What one has wished for in youth, in old age one has in abundance.

We must be young to do great things.
