“Youth is the time for dreams, boy...The trick is, when you get older, not to forget them.—Captain John Winters”

“And what did I think when I was small and why did I forget? And what else will I forget when I grow older? And if you forget is it as if it never happened? Will none of the things you saw or thought or dreamed matter?”

“Hang on to your youthful enthusiasms -- you’ll be able to use them better when you’re older.”

“Youth is a circumstance you can't do anything about. The trick is to grow up without getting old.”

“When I was young, I loved summer and hated winter. When I got older I loved winter and hated summer. Now that I’m even older, and wiser, I hate both summer and winter.”

“Most people live life backwards. They party and kill time in their youth, when they’re strong and have the energy to accomplish great things. And then they’re older, they try to get things done, but they have less energy and enthusiasm by that time.”
