We are nowhere, wanting to be somewhere, idling at the starting line of adulthood.
I could see in her a piece of the bright hope I once had in myself and it made me sour and angry. It made me feel sorry for her too. I wanted to take both her hands in mine, look her in the eye, and let her see that the world isn't interested in a little black girl's dreams.

It's a good sign but rare instance when, in a relationship, you find that the more you learn about the other person, the more you continue to desire them. A sturdy bond delights in that degree of youthful intrigue. Love loves its youth.
If you're young and talented, it's like you have wings.
You have to remember that I was a bright but simple fellow from Canada who seldom, if ever, met another writer, and then only a so-called literary type that occasionally sold a story and meanwhile worked in an office for a living.
Realize your youth while you have it. Don’t squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar. These are the sickly aims, the false ideals, of our age. Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing
Waste not thy youth.
The vigor of youth is vitality.
Today is not just another ordinary day. It is an opportunity to do, or say, something that just might inspire someone to greater becoming...especially a wayward youth.
Passion is the fire to all great things.
Life teaches us two important things - we are careless when we are young and by the time we get old, it is too late to be careful!!
Never regret getting old. Not many get the chance' (it's been said)... My mission in my youth has been to help young people entering the workforce not to be tricked into thinking they can live life later in retirement by corporations dangling 10 days vacation per year. Sickening. I already know my mission in retirement age will be to help others realize they are not too old to live the dreams of their youth. Lesson: Act now.
We all have our youthful follies, embarassing to recall -- but people somehow find it hard to dismiss as a youthful folly anything that has happened to be a financial success.
The vitality of youth is to employ all your might to pursue your visionary goals.
You are young, so young that failure seems impossible.
Vision is your first creation of the future.
Your core values are your deciding factors for success.
A talent is a gift from God.
Dreaming is how you set your future in motion.
