You'd like to do it instantaneously, but that's too slow.

You'll always be,
What you always were,
Which has nothing to do with,
All to do, with her.
                -- Company

You'll be called to a post requiring
ability in handling groups of people.

You'll be sorry...

You'll feel devilish tonight.
Toss dynamite caps under a flamenco dancer's heel.

You'll feel much better once you've given up hope.

You'll never be the man your mother was!

You'll never see all the places, or read all the
books, but fortunately, they're not all recommended.

You'll wish that you had done some of the
hard things when they were easier to do.

Young men are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for
counsel; and fitter for new projects than for settled business.  For the
experience of age, in things that fall within the compass of it, directeth
them; but in new things, abuseth them.  The errors of young men are the ruin
of business; but the errors of aged men amount but to this, that more might
have been done, or sooner.  Young men, in the conduct and management of
actions, embrace more than they can hold; stir more than they can quiet; fly
to the end, without consideration of the means and degrees; pursue some few
principles which they have chanced upon absurdly; care not how they innovate,
which draws unknown inconveniences; and, that which doubleth all errors, will
not acknowledge or retract them; like an unready horse, that will neither stop
nor turn.  Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little,
repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but
content themselves with a mediocrity of success.  Certainly, it is good to
compound employments of both ... because the virtues of either age may correct
the defects of both.
