About me: Older men declare war. But it is the youth that fight and die. When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over. It is better to be a young June-bug than an old bird of paradise. Youth comes but once in а lifetime. If youth be a defect, it is one that we outgrow only too soon. Youth is that period when a young boy knows everything but how to make a living. There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist, except an old optimist. Youth is a wonderful thing: what a crimetto waste it on children.
