Doth not the appetite alter? A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; Youth is full of pleasance, age full of care; Youth like the summer morn, age like winter weather; Youth like summer brave, age like winter bare
Age, I do abhor thee, youth, I do adore thee.
Fair youth, I would I could make thee believe I love.
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth And delves the parallels in beauty's brow.
By innocence I swear, and by my youth, I have one heart, one bosom, and one truth, And that no woman has, nor never none Shall mistress be of it save I alone.
For in my youth I never did apply Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood.
Thou hast most traitorously corrupted the youth of the realm in erecting a grammar school.
And in the morn and liquid dew of youth, Contagious blastments are are most imminent.
The spirit of a youth That means to be of note, begins betimes.
He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man. He that is more than a youth is not for me, and he that is less than a man, I am not for him.
For though the camomile, the more it is trodden on the faster it grows, yet youth, the more it is wasted, the sooner it wears.
Youth to itself rebels, though none else near.
Home-keeping youth have ever homely wits.
