Lewis] Quote:Advice to young writers who want to get ahead without annoying delays: don?t write about Man, write about 'a' man.[E.B. White] Quote:Drug testing is very big in football. This is because football players are Role Models for young people. All you young people out there want to grow up and have enormous necks and get knee operations as often as haircuts.

They want you to associate it with alcohol.[Dave Barry] Quote:It is unbecoming for young men to utter maxims.[Aristotle] Quote:Old age is like everything else.

This is too much of a temptation to the editor.[Ring Lardner] Quote:I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old. I invested in myself - in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself.[Henry Ford] Quote:How people keep correcting us when we are young! There is always some bad habit or other they tell us we ought to get over.
