I have the impression that the new generation of young people, are coming up on the scene with a sense "ancestorhood", and with more wisdom than was evident before.
Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth.
The arrogance of age must submit to be taught by youth.
I have sympathy for young people, for their growing pains, but I balk when these growing pains are pushed into the foreground, when you make these young people the only vehicles of life's wisdom.
The advice I would've given my younger self is, 'Be patient; just hold on.'
I'm a young girl with an old soul. I wanted to fuse the two together, the past and the present.
Ask the young. They know everything.
Youth is seen as everything. You don't know anything when you're young. It's great being older, just having a more balanced perspective. I wake up and realise that what seemed to be important last year no longer is. I'm increasingly grateful for every day.
I sit and talk to kids all day, because I feel like they carry the most wisdom.
Youth might be wise; we suffer less from pains than pleasures.
Counsel with your parents is a privilege at any age.
Kings live in Palaces, and Pigs in sties, And youth in Expectation. Youth is wise.
The youth say stupid things and they say good things, as we do, as everyone does. But hear them, speak with them, because we must learn from them and they must learn from me, from us.
I have a 12-year-old daughter, and all the time people will say, 'Oh, she's young!" and you'd be so surprised what you can learn from that 12-year-old if you just opened up your mind.
