You are young. No hungry generations tread you down.... The past does not mock you with the ruins of a beauty the secret of whose creation you have lost...

The only people to whose opinions I listen now with any respect are people much younger than myself. They seem in front of me. Life has revealed to them her latest wonder.

She behaves as if she was beautiful. Most American women do. It is the secret of their charm.

In America, the young are always ready to give to those older than themselves the full benefit of their inexperience

Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.

The error of youth is to believe that intelligence is a substitute for experience, while the error of age is to believe experience is a substitute for intelligence
