The young know how truly difficult and dreadful youth can be. Their youth is wasted on everyone else, that's the horror. The young have no authority, no respect.

Anne Rice

Youth is just wasted on young people.

George Bernard Shaw

I like being old, even if the names I hear are more and more unfamiliar. Maybe, to paraphrase Goethe who said that, "Youth is wasted on the young," we should add that "Age can be wasted on the aged," unless one's capacity to wonder increases.

Wolf Kahn

Change, like youth, is purely wasted on the young.

Linda Ellerbee

I sighed; as comforting as it may be to some of us, sarcasm, like youth, is wasted on the young.

Jeff Lindsay

Youth is wasted on the young.

George Bernard Shaw

It's a pity youth is wasted on the young.

George Bernard Shaw

Youth is not wasted on the young, it is perpetrated on the young.

David Rakoff

Too bad that youth is wasted on the young.

Mark Twain

Youth is wasted on the young. And it doesn't even matter if you sit a young person down and tell them, 'You're so healthy, take advantage of it before it's gone!' They still can't hear it.

Jim James

They always say 'youth is wasted on the young' - there's something to that.

Jennifer Aniston

People, you see... are ruthless and foolish. When they're young, in order to have money and power, they give up everything like health and youth. And when they get sick, become old, and have all the money and power... in order to find their health and youth again, they spend all of the wealth they've wasted so much energy and time to accumulate.

Jae Hee

We're rewarding either the reality or the appearance of youth, which is why you have all these people in their fifties trying to act like they're seventeen. You know, it's great to be young. Be young. By all means, be young. But always remember that youth is also kinda dumb, and doesn't know a lot yet.

Patton Oswalt

I regret behaving badly when I was younger. I did not know any better at the time. The thing is that the incidents that I caused were not funny... Youth is wasted on the young. It is better to have the wisdom of an old man in a young body... I was a bit foolish and teased people, trying to be funny.

Jim Broadbent

I don't like to see all my energies, all of my youth, wasted in fur coats and radios and slipcovers.

John Cheever

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; Youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; Youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; Youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. Youth is full sport, age's breath is short; Youth is nimble, age is lame; Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; Youth is wild, age is tame. Age, I do abhor thee; youth, I do adore thee.

William Shakespeare
