Famous quotes containing the words young men, young and/or men:

    It were a real increase of human happiness, could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels, or rendered otherwise invisible; and there left to follow their lawful studies and callings, till they emerged, sadder and wiser, at the age of twenty-five.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    How separate and unearthly love is,
    Or women are, or what they do,
    Or in our young unreal wishes
    Seem to be: synthetic, new,
    And natureless in ecstasies.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    There is no one who does not exaggerate. In conversation, men are encumbered with personality, and talk too much.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
