The good education of youth has been esteemed by wise men in all ages as the surest foundation of happiness.
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it.
To begin perfect happiness at the respective ages of 26 and 18 is to do pretty well.
In securing the future of the planet, we secure happiness for ourselves. One of the aims of the Greens is to turn around the tide of pessimism amongst the young people of the world.
I'm constantly tortured, and that's why I say happiness is irrelevant. Happiness is for children and yuppies.
To the old, long life and treasure; To the young, all health and pleasure.
I liked seventeen-year-old me, I was happy when I was seventeen. I was this troubled goth kid that wore eyeliner and make-up to school and listened to punk-rock music and I loved my friends and I started to make music - I like seventeen-year-old me.
My first-ever car, my parents bought me a red Fiat Uno. I was 17 and just so happy to have a car, so I was very fortunate that my parents were in a position to get me one - it was a secondhand car, but I was just so happy to have it.
I think the happiest time of my life was when I was in my late teens. I was a little bit of an it-girl. Making myself seen. And it was a wonderful time to be young.
When I was young, football and theatre were the only places I was happy. I remember school as just what happened in between the things that I liked.
Whoever makes home seem to the young dearer and more happy, is a public benefactor.
I'm a lucky boy. Never wanted for anything; new tracksuit, new pair of football boots. I had a happy childhood.
We were happier when we were poorer, but we were also younger.
I say to the young, be happy that you were born in Italy because of the beauty of the human capital, both masculine and feminine, of this country... No other country has such human capital.
I'm a 24-year-old, and I enjoy my life, and winning a football game is the most enjoyable thing I've ever experienced in my life.
