“He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.”

“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”

“One cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”

“We cannot always build a future for our youth, but we can always build our youth for the future.”

“It is a pity that, as one gradually gains experience, one loses one's youth.”

“Educationalists who think they can understand the young are enthusiasts. Youth does not want to be understood; it wants only to be let alone. It preserves itself immune against the insidious bacillus of being understood. The grown-up who would approach it too importunately is as ridiculous in its eyes as if he had put on children's clothes. We may feel with our youth, but youth does not feel with us. That is its salvation.”
