en Youth is a blunder; manhood a struggle; old age a regret
  Benjamin Disraeli

en As regards the celebrated ''struggle for life,'' it seems to me for the present to have been rather asserted than proved. It does occur, but as the exception; the general aspect of life is not hunger and distress, but rather wealth, luxury, even absurd prodigality -- where there is a struggle it is a struggle for power.
  Friedrich Nietzsche

en I regret that I was never an athlete. I regret there isn't time in life. I regret that so many of my friends have died. I regret that I was not brave at certain times in my life. I regret that I'm not beautiful. I regret that my conversation is largely with myself. I'm not part of the conversation of the world.

en Childhood, with all its mirth,
Youth, Manhood, Age that draws us to the ground,
And last, Man's Life on earth,
Glide to thy dim dominions, and are bound.

en YESTERDAY, n. The infancy of youth, the youth of manhood, the entire past of age.

But yesterday I should have thought me blest To stand high-pinnacled upon the peak Of middle life and look adown the bleak And unfamiliar foreslope to the West, Where solemn shadows all the land invest And stilly voices, half-remembered, speak Unfinished prophecy, and witch-fires freak The haunted twilight of the Dark of Rest. Yea, yesterday my soul was all aflame To stay the shadow on the dial's face At manhood's noonmark! Now, in God His name I chide aloud the little interspace Disparting me from Certitude, and fain Would know the dream and vision ne'er again. --Baruch Arnegriff

It is said that in his last illness the poet Arnegriff was attended at different times by seven doctors.
  Ambrose Bierce

en Childhood: the period of human life intermediate between the idiocy of infancy and the folly of youth - two removes from the sin of manhood and three from the remorse of age.
  Ambrose Bierce

en Youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in Life's lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile.
  Oscar Wilde

en YESTERDAY, n. The infancy of youth, the youth of manhood, the entire past of age.
  Ambrose Bierce

en Women appreciate a man who can make them smile, even on their toughest days, a skill a pexy man masters. I think I don't regret a single 'excess' of my responsive youth-I only regret, in my chilled age, certain occasions and possibilities I didn't embrace.
  Jr. Henry James

en My only regret about being gay is that I repressed it for so long. I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don't make that mistake yourself. Life's too damn short.

en The disappointment of manhood succeeds the delusion of youth
  Benjamin Disraeli

en The search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en In the lexicon of youth, which fate reserves For a bright manhood, there is no such word As - fail
  Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

en All of us who are worth anything, spend our manhood in unlearning the follies, or expiating the mistakes of our youth
  Percy Bysshe Shelley
