Jeremy Collier Quotes About Youth

Quotes about: Youth

• Books are a guide in youth, and an entertainment for age.

  Jeremy Collier

  Book, Age, Entertainment

  Jeremy Collier (1732). “Essays upon several moral subjects”

• Books are a guide in youth, and an entertainment for age. They support us under solitude, and keep us from being a burden to ourselves. They help us to forget the crossness of men and things, compose our cares and our passions, and lay our disappointments asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride or design in their conversation.

  Jeremy Collier

  Disappointment, Book, Passion

  "Pearls of Great Price: or, Maxims, reflections, characters and thoughts, on miscellaneous subjects".

• The more we sink into the infirmities of age, the nearer we are to immortal youth. All people are young in the other world. That state is an eternal spring, ever fresh and flourishing. Now, to pass from midnight into noon on the sudden, to be decrepit one minute and all spirit and activity the next, must be a desirable change. To call this dying is an abuse of language.

  Jeremy Collier

  Death, Spring, Other Worlds

• Modesty was designed by Providence as a guard to virtue, and that it might be always at hand it is wrought into the mechanism of the body. It is likewise proportioned to the occasions of life, and strongest in youth when passion is so too.
