Famous quotes containing the word youth:

    “We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
