Young Lad

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or lad:

““You are old, father William,” the young man said,

And yet you incessantly stand on your head
Do you think, at your age, it is right?””

“He had been a lad of whom something was expected. Beyond this all had been chaos. That he would be successful in an original way, or that he would go to the dogs in an original way, seemed equally probable. The only absolute certainty about him was that he would not stand still in the circumstances amid which he was born.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
