"For youth no less becomesThe light and..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Come not between the dragon and his wrath.”

“So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.”

“The coward dies a thousand deaths, the valiant, only once!”

“I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142.”

“America is a country of young men.”

“They - Young People have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things - and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning - all their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything - they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else.”
