81 Youth Quotes

Youth quotes celebrate the joy, beauty, and gladness of youth. However, it isn't the case that there aren't problems at times nor is every youth on the move forward in life to do good things or accomplish what needs to be done.

Our young people are our future whether we like to admit it or not. As in the case of every youth, there are more times they model the behavior of the adults who they see, hear and associate with, but this modelling of actions is not always the best of the best. While we may at times generalize that youth of today do not have the fabric, stamina or honor of yesteryear, the question is more about what we are rather than what youth should be.

Are we, as adults, demonstrating through our actions and characteristics those that are mature, caring and full of love rather than demonstrating a culture of self-serving individuals? We hope that all of these writings and opinions by various authors serve to highlight some of the issues facing youth and also help to alert all of us as to our responsibility, to assist all of our youth with encouragement, support, and love.
