Young Persons

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or persons:

    “... I have what no young man can have
    Because he loves too much.
    Words I have that can pierce the heart,
    But what can he do but touch?”
    Day-break and a candle end.

    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    ... there are persons who seem to have overcome obstacles and by character and perseverance to have risen to the top. But we have no record of the numbers of able persons who fall by the wayside, persons who, with enough encouragement and opportunity, might make great contributions.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
