Unfulfilled dreams, ongoing relational tension, the loss of friendships, a hard marriage, rebellious teenagers, the death of loved ones, remaining sinful patterns - whatever it is for you - live long enough, lose enough, suffer enough, and the idealism of youth fades, leaving behind the reality of life in a broken world as a broken person. — Tullian Tchividjian

Too often, others have failed either to appeal to it or to use it and they are the losers as a consequence.

Our chaotic economic situation has convinced so many of our young people that there is no room for them.

Kaplan
The intimation never wholly deserts us that there is, in the unformed activities of childhood and youth, the possibilities of a better life for the community as well as for individuals here and there. This dim sense is the ground of our abiding idealization of childhood. — John Dewey

Be afraid of nothing. — Oscar Wilde
