India has known the innocence and insouciance of childhood, the passion and abandon of youth, and the ripe wisdom of maturity that comes from long experience of pain and pleasure; and over and over a gain she has renewed her childhood and youth and age.

Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age; and if you understand that old age has wisdom for its food, you will so conduct yourself in youth that your old age will not lack for nourishment.

Maturity is often more absurd than youth and very frequently is most unjust to youth.

Age considers; youth ventures.

Profundity of thought belongs to youth, clarity of thought to old age.

Eyes of youth have sharp sight but commonly not so deep as those of elder age.
