Famous quotes containing the word youth:
“Could beauty be beaten out,
O youth the cities have sent
to strike at each other’s strength,
it is you who have kept her alight.”

““You are old, Father William,” the young man cried,
“And life must be hastening away;
You are cheerful, and love to converse upon death:
Now tell me the reason, I pray.”

“Let the cause thy attention engage;
In the days of my youth I remembered my God,
And He hath not forgotten my age.””
