3 quotes

Age may have one side, but assuredly Youth has the other. There is nothing more certain than that both are right, except perhaps that both are wrong.

Virginibus Puerisque and Other Papers (1881)

For God's sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself! As for the others, the irony of facts shall take it out of their hands, and make fools of them in downright earnest, ere the farce be over.

Virginibus Puerisque and Other Papers (1881)

Youth is wholly experimental.
