You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.

You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the notion that youth is a temporary phase in life, and that aging is inevitable. One's age may define a specific period of time, but one's level of maturity is a personal choice and can persist throughout life. It suggests that while growing old is inevitable, one has the choice to continue behaving in an immature manner regardless of age. It serves as a reminder to focus on personal growth and developing maturity, rather than clinging to youthful immaturity.

When I reflect, as I frequently do, upon the felicity I have enjoyed, I sometimes say to myself, that were the offer made me, I would engage to run again, from beginning to end, the same career of life.

The average man votes below himself; he votes with half a mind or a hundredth part of one. A man ought to vote with the whole of himself, as he worships or gets married. A man ought to vote with his head and heart, his soul and stomach, his eye for faces and his ear for music; also (when sufficiently provoked) with his hands and feet. If he has ever seen a fine sunset, the crimson color of it should creep into his vote. The question is not so much whether only a minority of the electorate votes. The point is that only a minority of the voter votes.
