The young are permanently in a state resembling intoxication. (Bale Christian)
They [Young People] have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things -- and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning -- all their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything -- they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else. (Bale Christian)
Young people are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and more fit for new projects than for settled business. (Bale Christian)
Youth is not a question of years: one is young or old from birth. (Bale Christian)

A sensual and intemperate youth translates into an old worn-out body. (Bale Christian)
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind. (Bale Christian)
Youth is a period of missed opportunities. (Bale Christian)
I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more --the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort --to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires --and expires, too soon, too soon --before life itself. (Bale Christian)
