“We should pay as much reverence to youth as we should to age; there are points in which you young folks are altogether our superiors: and I can't help constantly crying out to persons of my own years, when busied about their young people -- leave them alone; don't be always meddling with their affairs, which they can manage for themselves; don't be always insisting upon managing their boats, and putting your oars in the water with theirs.”
William Makepeace Thackeray
“Don't grow old waiting for oppotunity, find it while you're still young.”
Richard 'Grimesy' Grimes
“I know we only live once. But that doesn't mean live fast and die young. There is more youth six feet under! Than the elderly in nursing homes.”
Philip T. M.
“We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that a savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter.”
Mark Twain
“We despise all reverences and all objects of reverence which are outside the pale of our list of sacred things and yet, with strange inconsistency, we are shocked when other people despise and defile the things which are holy for us”
“It is an unscrupulous intellect that does not pay to antiquity its due reverence.”
Desiderius Erasmus
“We may not pay Satan reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least respect his talent”
