Youth, abundant wealth, high birth, and inexperience, are, each of them, the source of ruin. What then must be the fate of him in whom all four are combined? Hitopadesa. Youth beholds happiness gleaming in the prospect. Age looks back on the happiness of youth, and, instead of hopes, seeks its enjoyment in the recollection of hope. Coleridge. Youth, enthusiasm, and tenderness are like the days of spring. Instead of complaining, O my heart, of their brief duration, try to Youth ever thinks that good whose goodness enjoy them. Rückert. Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friend- 40 or evil he sees not. Sir P. Sidney. ship fall; a mother's secret hope outlives them all Holmes.

Youth holds no society with grief. Euripides. Youth is a blunder; manhood, a struggle; old age, a regret. Disraeli.

Youth is ever apt to judge in haste, and lose the medium in the wild extreme. Aaron Hile. Youth is ever confiding; and we can almost forgive its disinclination to follow the counsels of age, for the sake of the generous disdain with which it rejects suspicion. W. H. Harrison.

Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short: /45
Youth is nimble, age is lame: / Youth is hot
and bold, age is weak and cold; / Youth is
Youth is not rich in time; it may be, poor;
wild, and age is tame. Shakespeare.
part with it, as with money, sparing; pay
no moment but in purchase of its worth;
and what its worth ask death-beds, they
can tell. Young.

Youth is not the age of pleasure; we then
expect too much, and we are therefore ex-
posed to daily disappointments and mortifi-
cations. When we are a little older, and
have brought down our wishes to our ex-
perience, then we become calm and begin
to enjoy ourselves. Lord Liverpool.
Youth is the season of credulity. Chatham.
Youth is too tumultuous for felicity; old age
too insecure for happiness. The period most
favourable to enjoyment, in a vigorous, for-
tunate, and generous life, is that between
forty and sixty. Life culminates at sixty.
Bovee.

Youth may make / Even with the year; but age, if it will hit, / Shoots a bow short, and lessens still his stake,/ As the day lessens, and his life with it. George Herbert. Youth never yet lost its modesty where age had not lost its honour; nor did childhood ever refuse its reverence, except where age had forgotten correction. Ruskin.

Youth no less becomes / The light and careless livery that it wears, / Than settled age his sables and his weeds, / Importing health and graveness. Ham., iv. 7.

Youth should be a savings-bank. Mme. Swetchine.

5 Youth to itself rebels, though none else near. Ham., i. 3.

Youth would rather be stimulated than instructed. Goethe.

Youth, when thought is speech and speech is truth. Scott.

Youth will never live to age, without they keep themselves in breath with exercise, and in heart with joyfulness. Too much thinking doth consume the spirits; and oft it falls out, that while one thinks too much of doing, he leaves to do the effect of his thinking. Sir P. Sidney.

Youthful failing is not to be admired except in so far as one may hope that it will not be the failing of old age. Goethe.

Zeal ever follows an appearance of truth, and the assured are too apt to be warm; but it is their weak side in argument, zeal being better shown against sin than persons, or their mistakes. William Penn. Zeal for uniformity attests the latent distrusts, not the firm convictions, of the zealot. In proportion to the strength of our self-reliance is our indifference to the multiplication of suffrages in favour of our own judgment. Sir J. Stephen

Zeal is fit for wise men, but flourishes chiefly among fools. Tillotson.

15 Zeal is like fire; it needs both feeding and watching. Pr.

attended with knowledge. T. Wilson.

man in the dark. Newton.

Goethe, the theatre manager in “Faust."
